Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos robbed the room for Schwesinger. Final grade: B.

Call it larceny. Carson Schwesinger sat on the board until the Round 6 slot, and the Broncos did not need to be asked twice.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick51 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A safety of that caliber at the Round 2 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick85 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Circle this one: Kaleb Johnson at pick 85 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick121 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in the 121st overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick193 Rnd6 Carson Schwesinger
Somehow Carson Schwesinger was still sitting there in slot 193, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick199 Rnd6 Robert Spears-Jennings
Taking Robert Spears-Jennings in No. 199 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jonah Monheim reach the 210th pick and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
