Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
Larceny in the Round 6 slot lands the Broncos a B-, McGlothern and all.

When a board-topper like Dwight McGlothern slides to pick 203, you do not overthink it, and the Broncos did not. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They are betting Spann-Ford proves the room right and everyone else wrong. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick46 Rnd2 Bo Nix
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Bo Nix in the 46th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
No edge and no loss on Marshawn Kneeland in slot 76; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick92 Rnd3 Max Melton
Value with a capital V on Max Melton in pick No. 92, a genuine coup. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick121 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in Round 4, Pick 21 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick136 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
The board had cheaper options than Justin Eboigbe at pick 136, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick145 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick147 Rnd5 Marcus Harris
They paid sticker price for Marcus Harris in No. 147, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick191 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
They read the board right and Ty'Ron Hopper was the payoff at the 191st pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick203 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
They robbed the room for Dwight McGlothern here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan in pick No. 207 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick220 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at slot 220 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
