Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Broncos a B+.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Broncos spent slot 246 on Isaac Smith, a name the board had a full 35 spots lower. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Rodriguez value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick75 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
They barely believed it either: Jacob Rodriguez still on the board at the Round 3 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick94 Rnd3 Sam Roush
Sam Roush in Round 3, Pick 30 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick108 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
A tidy bit of business in the 108th pick, where Bryce Lance graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick151 Rnd5 Kage Casey
They jumped the gun on Kage Casey, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick170 Rnd5 Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris slid further than he should have, and No. 170 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jimmy Rolder
No edge and no loss on Jimmy Rolder in the 227th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick246 Rnd7 Isaac Smith
A wild overpay on Isaac Smith in the 246th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick256 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
Eli Heidenreich in pick 256 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick257 Rnd7 Adam Randall
Adam Randall at No. 257 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
