The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named linebacker, a need the Broncos walked right past.
That Lane pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick-by-Pick
The board had Eli Stowers higher than pick No. 62, and the tight end fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Ja'Kobi Lane in the Round 4 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Austin Barber in pick 111 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
