The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Broncos spent their marquee pick on Fernando Mendoza, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

It is not that Ponds is a bad player; it is that the Broncos had louder needs to answer first. A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want.

Getting Wilson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Job largely done: quarterback settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
