The search is over. The Broncos handed the keys to J.J. McCarthy, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. The cost of the McCarthy reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball. They went 1 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
