If confidence were a draft strategy, the Broncos would have aced it. Donovan Ezeiruaku at pick 20 is 33 spots clear of where he belonged. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. That Howard pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
