Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Broncos left with their quarterback, and a B+ to match.

There is reaching, and then there is George Holani at the 252nd overall pick. The Broncos jumped the board by 61 and dared it to prove them wrong. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

So much rides on J.J. McCarthy that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. Puni at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick 19 they get a home-run threat at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick31 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In pick No. 31 they get the face of the franchise, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders slid further than he should have, and Round 2, Pick 20 is lovely value for the tight end. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick58 Rnd2 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at No. 58 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks in the Round 2 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick76 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
The board had Kamren Kinchens higher than the 76th overall pick, and the safety fell to them anyway. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick92 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick99 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Value with a capital V on Trey Benson in pick No. 99, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
They barely believed it either: Dominick Puni still on the board at slot 121. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray slipping to Round 4, Pick 24 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick132 Rnd4 Andru Phillips
Circle this one: Andru Phillips at pick 132 is a fall that decides a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick133 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
They let McKinnley Jackson come to them and pounced at the 133rd overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick137 Rnd5 James Williams
Nice patience on James Williams, who had no business lasting to No. 137. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick145 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
Somehow Johnny Wilson was still sitting there in the 145th pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick155 Rnd5 Beau Brade
A safety of that caliber at the 155th pick is the definition of value, full stop. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick160 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
They read the board right and Tommy Eichenberg was the payoff at the 160th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick194 Rnd6 Ro Torrence
Ro Torrence at slot 194 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick203 Rnd6 Justin Rogers
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Justin Rogers at Round 6, Pick 28. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick204 Rnd6 Logan Lee
They jumped the gun on Logan Lee, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick207 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in No. 207 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick211 Rnd6 Dominique Hampton
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dominique Hampton. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick231 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
They liked Josh Proctor enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 231. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick252 Rnd7 George Holani
George Holani in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
