Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Broncos, and a B- to prove it.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Kyle Louis in No. 108, a good 40 spots before the room expected him.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Getting Moore where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Dontay Corleone
In pick 30 they get an anchor for the defensive front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Malachi Fields
They paid up for Malachi Fields at the 62nd pick when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
Pick94 Rnd3 Joe Royer
They took Joe Royer at par in Round 3, Pick 30, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick108 Rnd4 Kyle Louis
Kyle Louis at the 108th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick130 Rnd4 Nadame Tucker
They reached a country mile for Nadame Tucker at slot 130, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick168 Rnd5 Louis Moore
A safety of that caliber at pick No. 168 is the definition of value, full stop. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick246 Rnd7 Patrick Payton
A straight-up fair deal on Patrick Payton at pick No. 246, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick251 Rnd7 De'Zhaun Stribling
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on De'Zhaun Stribling. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick255 Rnd7 Seth McGowan
Seth McGowan at the 255th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
