Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Broncos lost the trade table, and the D tells the story.

The Broncos lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. The math is unkind, and the D follows.

The cost of the Aguilar reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Dixon at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick62 Rnd2 Eli Stowers
Nice patience on Eli Stowers, who had no business lasting to pick No. 62. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
No edge and no loss on Jadarian Price in Round 3, Pick 6; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick107 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jalon Kilgore in the Round 4 slot. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick108 Rnd4 Sam Hecht
Sam Hecht at the 108th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick111 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
The board fumbled Bryce Lance all the way to pick 111, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick126 Rnd4 Oscar Delp
They took Oscar Delp at par in No. 126, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick137 Rnd4 Chris McClellan
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chris McClellan. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
By-the-book stuff, Bryce Boettcher at slot 170 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick246 Rnd7 Thaddeus Dixon
Taking Thaddeus Dixon in No. 246 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick256 Rnd7 Adam Randall
A big swing on Adam Randall at slot 256, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick257 Rnd7 Joey Aguilar
Joey Aguilar in the 257th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
