Ottis DRAFTING FOR THEBroncos

Draft Grade — Broncos

FutureB-
The Broncos let Rodriguez fall and pounced. Final grade: B. The rest of the league will want that one back. Nicholas Rodriguez tumbling to the Broncos in the 169th overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. The bottom line is a respectable B.
The cost of the Rojas reach is exactly the players who went right after him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.
Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Cayden Green
In the 31st overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick63
Rnd2
Mark Fletcher Jr.
Mark Fletcher Jr. at pick No. 63 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick95
Rnd3
Dylan Raiola
They paid a round early for Dylan Raiola in No. 95, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick108
Rnd4
Tony Rojas
Tony Rojas at the 108th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick131
Rnd4
Omarion Miller
Omarion Miller in slot 131 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick169
Rnd5
Nicholas Rodriguez
Steal is underselling it; Nicholas Rodriguez at Round 5, Pick 31 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick247
Rnd7
Daevin Hobbs
Daevin Hobbs at the Round 7 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick251
Rnd7
Jordan Castell
Jordan Castell at pick 251 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick255
Rnd7
OJ Frederique Jr.
OJ Frederique Jr. at pick No. 255 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor itch, scratched.
