Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB- TradesF FutureC+
The phones sank the Broncos this weekend: D+.

There is reaching, and then there is Mason Taylor at pick 154. The Broncos jumped the board by 42 and dared it to prove them wrong.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They banked enough surplus on Sanders to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In slot 3 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick35 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau slipping to pick 35 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick65 Rnd3 Josh Conerly Jr.
Josh Conerly Jr. in the 65th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick67 Rnd3 Clay Webb
They left a pile of value on the table to take Clay Webb this early at the Round 3 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick99 Rnd4 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at the 99th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jaheim Oatis
Jaheim Oatis in pick No. 122 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick154 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
They talked themselves into Mason Taylor at No. 154, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick163 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
They jumped the gun on Thor Griffith, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick186 Rnd6 Tyler Batty
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tyler Batty in the Round 6 slot, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick207 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
A premium they did not need to pay, Miles Frazier a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
Pick209 Rnd7 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at Round 7, Pick 17 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
