Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
Kamara should have been long gone. The Broncos pounced, and earned a D+.

The Broncos lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. Put together, it is a D+.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. The Kamara value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and linebacker is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Bralen Trice
In pick No. 16 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick53 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka in pick 53 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick80 Rnd3 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse in the 80th pick is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick116 Rnd4 Jason Marshall Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Jason Marshall Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick125 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at No. 125 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick153 Rnd5 Luke Lachey
A quiet steal in the Round 5 slot: Luke Lachey for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick158 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
They read the board right and Malachi Moore was the payoff at pick No. 158. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick234 Rnd7 Dominic Lovett
You do not let a wide receiver like Dominic Lovett reach the 234th pick and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick237 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dwight McGlothern at pick 237 is the proof. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
