Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Broncos: B.

The Broncos spent real capital to be 80 picks early on Marvin Jones Jr., and the board is going to hold them to it. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Orange at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick62 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
They barely believed it either: Anthony Hill Jr. still on the board at Round 2, Pick 30. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick108 Rnd4 Domonique Orange
They will replay Domonique Orange at No. 108 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick111 Rnd4 Genesis Smith
They let Genesis Smith come to them and pounced at pick No. 111. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick170 Rnd5 Marlin Klein
Marlin Klein at the 170th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick246 Rnd7 Dane Key
Dane Key at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick256 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III slid further than he should have, and pick 256 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick257 Rnd7 Marvin Jones Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Marvin Jones Jr. in the 257th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
