Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureA+
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Broncos: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Broncos were there to profit. Payton Wilson, the No. 57 name on the board, should have been long gone before No. 76. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They will need Eboigbe to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work. The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick 28 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick76 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick121 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
A real head-scratcher, Michael Pratt in pick No. 121 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick128 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Value said wait; Justin Eboigbe in the 128th overall pick says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick134 Rnd4 Christian Jones
No edge and no loss on Christian Jones in the 134th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jaylin Simpson
By-the-book stuff, Jaylin Simpson at No. 136 squarely in line with his ranking. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick145 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse at pick 145 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick147 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick160 Rnd5 Nelson Ceaser
No drama and no debate, Nelson Ceaser went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 24. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
They paid up for Jordan Jefferson at slot 174 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick203 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All in Round 6, Pick 28 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick207 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Frank Gore Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
