Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC- FutureA
The Broncos won the night they stopped Simpson from sliding. Grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jaylin Simpson, the No. 137 name on the board, stolen at the 203rd overall pick.

The Wiley pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Bo Nix
A tidy little value on Bo Nix in the 35th overall pick, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick71 Rnd3 DJ James
DJ James at slot 71 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
Steal is underselling it; Jermaine Burton at No. 76 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick90 Rnd3 MarShawn Lloyd
By-the-book stuff, MarShawn Lloyd at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick121 Rnd4 Renardo Green
The board fumbled Renardo Green all the way to pick No. 121, and they scooped it up. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick136 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Javon Foster at pick 136 is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick145 Rnd5 James Williams
Taking James Williams in the 145th pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick147 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at Round 5, Pick 11 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick162 Rnd5 Marcus Harris
Marcus Harris slid further than he should have, and slot 162 is lovely value for the edge rusher. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in pick No. 186 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
They will replay Jaylin Simpson at pick 203 for years; that is how good the value is. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick207 Rnd6 Dallin Holker
Somehow Dallin Holker was still sitting there in the 207th overall pick, and they pounced on premier tight end value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
