Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Broncos this weekend: B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Broncos, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

The Koziol reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The veteran additions, Drake London chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Kayden McDonald
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 2: Kayden McDonald for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick94 Rnd3 Skyler Bell
Skyler Bell in the 94th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick110 Rnd4 Caden Curry
Caden Curry slid further than he should have, and the Round 4 slot is lovely value for the edge rusher. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick121 Rnd4 Tanner Koziol
Tanner Koziol in pick 121 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick168 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa in the 168th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick195 Rnd6 Trey Zuhn III
They paid sticker price for Trey Zuhn III in pick No. 195, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Preston Hodge
No edge and no loss on Preston Hodge in slot 255; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
