Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesD+ FutureA
Good, not great, for the Broncos: B.

The George Holani selection is the head-turner. The Broncos reached 67 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

Landing Wilson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick39 Rnd2 Bo Nix
Bo Nix in the Round 2 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick65 Rnd3 T'Vondre Sweat
They robbed the room for T'Vondre Sweat here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Fair-plus on Patrick Paul, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick142 Rnd5 McKinnley Jackson
Taking McKinnley Jackson in Round 5, Pick 6 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick145 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
Circle this one: Theo Johnson at the 145th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick154 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Somehow Christian Jones was still sitting there in the 154th pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick155 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
They barely believed it either: Johnny Wilson still on the board at pick 155. It fills a real need, too.
Pick160 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nice patience on Nehemiah Pritchett, who had no business lasting to No. 160. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick166 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dallin Holker at Round 5, Pick 30. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick187 Rnd6 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis slid further than he should have, and pick No. 187 is lovely value for the quarterback. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick189 Rnd6 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen in the 189th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick197 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cornelius Johnson at the 197th overall pick is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick207 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
They will replay Fabien Lovett at slot 207 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick210 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
The board had Curtis Jacobs higher than the Round 6 slot, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick220 Rnd6 Logan Lee
They let Logan Lee come to them and pounced at pick No. 220. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick239 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Frank Gore Jr. in the 239th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick246 Rnd7 George Holani
A big swing on George Holani at Round 7, Pick 26, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
