Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

There is reaching, and then there is Joshua Farmer at pick No. 85. The Broncos jumped the board by 27 and dared it to prove them wrong.

That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In pick 20 they get a lockdown presence outside, outstanding value to boot. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
A tidy little value on Jonah Savaiinaea in Round 2, Pick 19, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
Pick85 Rnd3 Joshua Farmer
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Joshua Farmer well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips is a better player than slot 122 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick191 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. slid further than he should have, and the 191st overall pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick197 Rnd6 Luke Elzinga
A reach on Luke Elzinga in the Round 6 slot; the board had better options right there. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jarquez Hunter
Jarquez Hunter in slot 208 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
