If confidence were a draft strategy, the Broncos would have aced it. Nick Barrett at pick 170 is 33 spots clear of where he belonged.

The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On value alone, Kanak makes the weekend a net positive.

Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.
