Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Broncos.

Nobody else had DeMonte Capehart anywhere near the 62nd pick. The Broncos did, by 72 spots, and that gap is the whole story. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

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

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 KC Concepcion
In the 30th overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 DeMonte Capehart
Value said wait; DeMonte Capehart in slot 62 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick94 Rnd3 Max Klare
Steal is underselling it; Max Klare at Round 3, Pick 30 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jake Golday
A edge rusher of that caliber at pick 108 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick130 Rnd4 Emmett Johnson
They will replay Emmett Johnson at No. 130 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick168 Rnd5 Nadame Tucker
The board had Nadame Tucker higher than the 168th pick, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick246 Rnd7 Preston Hodge
Preston Hodge at the 246th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick251 Rnd7 Micah Morris
A reasonable price with a little left over, Micah Morris in No. 251. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick255 Rnd7 Alex Harkey
Alex Harkey at slot 255 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
