You can draft well and still miss the point. The Broncos did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to linebacker, which was the need that mattered most.

Every board in the league had Fields lower, and that gap is the story. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 1 of 8 of the wish list covered.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.
