The Broncos landed square in the muddy middle: C. There is reaching, and then there is Jaden Platt at slot 30. The Broncos jumped the board by 457 and dared it to prove them wrong.
The Fite value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
The skill positions did well by the weekend.
The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Jaden Platt
In the Round 1 slot they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick62
Rnd2
Chris Bell
Steal is underselling it; Chris Bell at pick 62 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick94
Rnd3
Domonique Orange
Domonique Orange at slot 94 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick103
Rnd4
Trey Leckner
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trey Leckner in pick No. 103, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick130
Rnd4
Dylan Braithwaite
Dylan Braithwaite at No. 130 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170
Rnd5
C.J. Fite
C.J. Fite in the 170th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick245
Rnd7
Malik Hartford
The board had Malik Hartford higher than pick No. 245, and the safety fell to them anyway. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick251
Rnd7
Lander Barton
They barely believed it either: Lander Barton still on the board at No. 251. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick252
Rnd7
Kayin Lee
The board had cheaper options than Kayin Lee at the Round 7 slot, and it noticed. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
