Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Broncos started one anyway for Brady Cook, 63 picks ahead of schedule.

The Lundt pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In pick No. 20 they get a ballhawk on the outside. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson in the 51st overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick85 Rnd3 Terrance Ferguson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Terrance Ferguson. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
You do not let a wide receiver like Tez Johnson reach pick 122 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
They read the board right and Jay Higgins was the payoff at No. 191. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick197 Rnd6 Chase Lundt
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick208 Rnd6 Brady Cook
Brady Cook at Round 6, Pick 32 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
