Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos won the night they stopped Cornelius from sliding. Grade: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Ajani Cornelius at pick 210 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Their trades came out a wash either way.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup weapon at tight end. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
Somehow T.J. Sanders was still sitting there in Round 2, Pick 31, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick85 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Nice patience on Tate Ratledge, who had no business lasting to slot 85. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick95 Rnd3 Devin Neal
The board had Devin Neal higher than pick 95, and the running back fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick121 Rnd4 Carson Schwesinger
A linebacker of that caliber at pick No. 121 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick193 Rnd6 Tory Horton
Tory Horton in the 193rd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jaylen Reed in the 199th overall pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick210 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
Taking Ajani Cornelius in No. 210 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
