Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB
The Broncos let Smith fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Brashard Smith, slot 153, roughly 36 picks past where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with tight end chief among the fixes.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the 20th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
No drama and no debate, Harold Fannin Jr. went about where he belonged in the 51st overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick118 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Nice patience on Jared Wilson, who had no business lasting to slot 118. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick153 Rnd5 Brashard Smith
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Brashard Smith in pick No. 153, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
