Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Broncos and Simon: B.

The Broncos did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Cody Simon fell into No. 210.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a workhorse for the backfield, outstanding value to boot.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at the 51st overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick85 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
They will replay Alfred Collins at pick No. 85 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick121 Rnd4 Elijah Arroyo
A tight end of that caliber at the 121st pick is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick193 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Dont'e Thornton Jr. at No. 193 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick199 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in pick 199 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick210 Rnd6 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
