Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named linebacker, a need the Broncos walked right past. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

Fitzgerald has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Chris Bell
In No. 31 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 Max Klare
Good price on Max Klare in pick No. 63, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick95 Rnd3 Bishop Fitzgerald
A reach on Bishop Fitzgerald in the 95th overall pick; the board had better options right there. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick108 Rnd4 Mikail Kamara
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mikail Kamara. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick131 Rnd4 Eric Rivers
No edge and no loss on Eric Rivers in the 131st pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick169 Rnd5 Charles Jagusah
They took Charles Jagusah at par in slot 169, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247 Rnd7 Raymond Cottrell
They paid sticker price for Raymond Cottrell in the Round 7 slot, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick251 Rnd7 Denver Harris
Denver Harris at Round 7, Pick 35 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick255 Rnd7 Micah Morris
A straight-up fair deal on Micah Morris at the Round 7 slot, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
