Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureB
The Broncos won the night they stopped Jones Jr. from sliding. Grade: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Emery Jones Jr. got past him. The Broncos do not have to explain a thing at Round 5, Pick 33.

They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They will need Walker to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In No. 20 they get a difference-maker at receiver, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in Round 2, Pick 19 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick121 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in pick No. 121 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick172 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in slot 172 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick190 Rnd6 Dorian Strong
Taking Dorian Strong in the 190th pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick198 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They robbed the room for Dont'e Thornton Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick199 Rnd6 Howard Cross III
Howard Cross III at the 199th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick210 Rnd6 Antwane Wells Jr.
The board fumbled Antwane Wells Jr. all the way to the Round 6 slot, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
