Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueA NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos let Neal fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The board owed the Broncos one, and it paid up: Devin Neal, the No. 89 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 192 like a gift left on the doorstep.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick53 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in the 53rd overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 84 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick122 Rnd4 Colston Loveland
They robbed the room for Colston Loveland here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick192 Rnd6 Devin Neal
Somehow Devin Neal was still sitting there in the 192nd pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick197 Rnd6 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton in pick No. 197 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick206 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Smael Mondon Jr. reach pick 206 and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
