Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Broncos checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The tape said wait; the Broncos did not. Terrance Ferguson went at the Round 4 slot, a good 79 picks before the board was ready.

On value alone, Johnson makes the weekend a net positive. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the Round 1 slot they get a centerfielder for the defense. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They will replay Jalon Walker at pick No. 51 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick85 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Circle this one: Kaleb Johnson at the 85th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick120 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Value with a capital V on Cam Skattebo in No. 120, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts at slot 122 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick129 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson at the 129th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick130 Rnd4 Nazir Stackhouse
A real head-scratcher, Nazir Stackhouse in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick165 Rnd5 Tonka Hemingway
A big swing on Tonka Hemingway at Round 5, Pick 28, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169 Rnd5 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at No. 169, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at slot 189 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
