FutureB-
The Broncos got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-. You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Broncos did exactly that with Kaytron Allen in No. 104. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D- is the result.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.
That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick43
Rnd2
Jacob Rodriguez
Value said wait; Jacob Rodriguez in pick 43 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick75
Rnd3
A.J. Haulcy
You do not let a safety like A.J. Haulcy reach slot 75 and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick87
Rnd3
Sam Roush
No drama and no debate, Sam Roush went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick104
Rnd4
Kaytron Allen
Kaytron Allen at the 104th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick108
Rnd4
Jude Bowry
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jude Bowry in the 108th pick, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick111
Rnd4
Bryce Lance
The board fumbled Bryce Lance all the way to pick No. 111, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick130
Rnd4
DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at slot 130 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick151
Rnd5
Taylen Green
Taylen Green at pick 151 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick170
Rnd5
Keagen Trost
A reach on Keagen Trost in No. 170; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick183
Rnd6
Dallen Bentley
A reach for Dallen Bentley in the Round 6 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick217
Rnd7
Jack Kelly
They reached into another round for Jack Kelly, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick227
Rnd7
Nick Barrett
A wild overpay on Nick Barrett in the 227th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick238
Rnd7
Adam Randall
Adam Randall at pick No. 238 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick239
Rnd7
Eli Heidenreich
They took Eli Heidenreich at par in Round 7, Pick 23, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
