Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB TradesB+ FutureB
A solid, sensible weekend for the Broncos: B+.

The Broncos did not so much draft George Holani as overpay for him, 82 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

On value alone, Rouse makes the weekend a net positive. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In slot 31 they get a weapon on the perimeter at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick58 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
The board fumbled Amarius Mims all the way to the 58th pick, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick63 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
They robbed the room for Ennis Rakestraw Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick76 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at pick 76 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick88 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Somehow Patrick Paul was still sitting there in No. 88, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick121 Rnd4 Audric Estime
They will replay Audric Estime at Round 4, Pick 21 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick124 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in pick 124 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick133 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
Michael Pratt at slot 133 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick137 Rnd5 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves at No. 137 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick145 Rnd5 Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett at pick No. 145 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick147 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 147th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick194 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Dwight McGlothern in Round 6, Pick 19, plain and simple. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick203 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
Steal is underselling it; Tip Reiman at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick207 Rnd6 Walter Rouse
Circle this one: Walter Rouse at the 207th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick231 Rnd7 George Holani
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for George Holani. The roster fit checks out.
