Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Broncos: B-.

The Broncos torched the value chart for Adam Randall, taking him 44 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The Bell steal is the beam this whole class leans on. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick92 Rnd3 Max Klare
Max Klare at the Round 3 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick108 Rnd4 Skyler Bell
Skyler Bell in Round 4, Pick 8 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Good price on Jalon Kilgore in the 111th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick112 Rnd4 Bud Clark
They did well to land Bud Clark in slot 112, just ahead of his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick152 Rnd5 Tim Keenan III
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tim Keenan III. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Travis Burke
They took Travis Burke at par in pick No. 170, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick180 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
A clean, defensible pick in the 180th overall pick with a little surplus value in Bryce Boettcher. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick239 Rnd7 Adam Randall
Adam Randall at pick No. 239 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick246 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
By-the-book stuff, Eli Heidenreich at pick 246 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick256 Rnd7 Logan Taylor
Logan Taylor at No. 256 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick257 Rnd7 Diego Pavia
Diego Pavia in the Round 7 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
