Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos robbed the room for Gordon II. Final grade: B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Broncos watched Ollie Gordon II slide 91 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

Every board in the league had Griffith lower, and that gap is the story. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Trading back for volume was the quiet throughline of their weekend.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In pick 20 they get a matchup problem out wide. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
A conviction pick on Alfred Collins at pick No. 51 that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Somehow TreVeyon Henderson was still sitting there in the 87th pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
Circle this one: Mason Taylor at slot 123 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick190 Rnd6 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick205 Rnd6 Sonny Styles
Steal is underselling it; Sonny Styles at No. 205 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick230 Rnd7 Xavier Nwankpa
You do not let a safety like Xavier Nwankpa reach Round 7, Pick 14 and blink. They did not. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick249 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Thor Griffith well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick254 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at pick 254 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
