Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 210th pick: the Broncos steal Bassa and grade out a B.

Somebody in the Round 6 slot was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Broncos sat still while Jeffrey Bassa, the No. 130 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the Round 1 slot they get a seam-stretching tight end. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at pick 51 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick85 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Steal is underselling it; Deone Walker at slot 85 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick121 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in the 121st overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
A tidy little value on Jaylen Reed in the 193rd pick, a step better than break-even. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick199 Rnd6 Upton Stout
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Upton Stout at Round 6, Pick 21 is the proof. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in pick No. 210 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
