Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Broncos: B-.

The war room fell hard for Terrance Ferguson, and it showed at the 120th overall pick: 90 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The Hancock value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick No. 20 they get a ballhawk on the back end. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jihaad Campbell at Round 2, Pick 19. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick85 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
Value said wait; Cam Skattebo in the Round 3 slot says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Terrance Ferguson well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick189 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Thor Griffith. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at slot 195 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Jordan Hancock in pick No. 205, plain and simple. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
