Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in Round 6, Pick 32: the Broncos steal Higgins and grade out a B.

Call it larceny. Jay Higgins sat on the board until pick No. 210, and the Broncos did not need to be asked twice.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 20th pick they get a red-zone target to build around. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
You do not let a running back like Omarion Hampton reach slot 51 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick85 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Taking Deone Walker in the 85th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick126 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
A tidy little value on Jaylen Reed in Round 6, Pick 15, a step better than break-even. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
They barely believed it either: Jonah Monheim still on the board at pick No. 199. It fills a real need, too.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
No edge and no loss on Jordan Hancock in pick 204; it is a wash and a sensible one. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
The board fumbled Jay Higgins all the way to No. 210, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
