Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Broncos robbed the room for Loveland. Final grade: B+.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Broncos were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

Landing Loveland that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Lindenberg reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In slot 27 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
A tight end of that caliber at the 46th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick59 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
Fair-plus on TreVeyon Henderson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick85 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Maxwell Hairston at pick No. 85. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick122 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Value with a capital V on Joshua Farmer in the Round 4 slot, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in No. 197 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick212 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at Round 6, Pick 36 is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick247 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
The board had cheaper options than Cody Lindenberg at pick No. 247, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
