Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Broncos let Simon fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Cody Simon got past him. The Broncos do not have to explain a thing at slot 231.

Reaching for Cook left real value on the table behind him. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick No. 32 they get a matchup weapon at tight end, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson in No. 51 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick72 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
They talked themselves into Tez Johnson at the 72nd overall pick, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick86 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in Round 3, Pick 22 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick107 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
A real head-scratcher, Rylie Mills in slot 107 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick120 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Steal is underselling it; Barrett Carter at pick 120 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick130 Rnd4 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt at the 130th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick147 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick154 Rnd5 Brady Cook
Value said wait; Brady Cook in slot 154 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick155 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson in pick 155 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick157 Rnd5 Kobe Hudson
They reached a country mile for Kobe Hudson at pick No. 157, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick189 Rnd6 Brashard Smith
A running back of that caliber at the 189th pick is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick195 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
A reach for Seth McLaughlin in the 195th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in the Round 6 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick231 Rnd7 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in No. 231 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
Jonas Sanker at Round 7, Pick 17 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor itch, scratched.
