Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB
The Broncos kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The Broncos bet big and early on George Holani, 95 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The Rouse pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Malik Nabers
In No. 12 they get a go-to option on the outside, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
They barely believed it either: T.J. Tampa still on the board at the 76th pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick121 Rnd4 Trey Benson
You do not let a running back like Trey Benson reach pick No. 121 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick136 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick145 Rnd5 Beau Brade
A quiet steal in Round 5, Pick 9: Beau Brade for less than the market said. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick160 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
The board had Tommy Eichenberg higher than slot 160, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick165 Rnd5 Sataoa Laumea
The board fumbled Sataoa Laumea all the way to pick No. 165, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick203 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They paid sticker price for Joe Milton III in No. 203, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Walter Rouse
They will replay Walter Rouse at slot 204 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick207 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Somehow Cornelius Johnson was still sitting there in the 207th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick218 Rnd6 George Holani
They reached a country mile for George Holani at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
