Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Broncos, and a B- to prove it.

The Broncos clearly saw something nobody else did in DeMonte Capehart, taking him 26 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Fields falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In pick 30 they get a three-down second-level presence. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Eli Stowers
A straight-up fair deal on Eli Stowers at the 62nd pick, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
Malachi Fields at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick108 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at pick No. 108 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick130 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
No edge and no loss on Mike Washington Jr. in Round 4, Pick 30; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick168 Rnd5 Charles Jagusah
They paid up for Charles Jagusah at slot 168 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Alex Harkey
They took Alex Harkey at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick251 Rnd7 Colbie Young
Colbie Young at the 251st overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick255 Rnd7 Evan Tengesdahl
A premium they did not need to pay, Evan Tengesdahl a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
