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

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named interior defensive lineman, a need the Broncos walked right past.

Every board in the league had Mafah lower, and that gap is the story. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Omarion Hampton
In the Round 1 slot they get a featured back, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick30 Rnd1 Colston Loveland
In slot 30 they get a security blanket over the middle at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick87 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at pick 87 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick122 Rnd4 Kobe King
By-the-book stuff, Kobe King at No. 122 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick191 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A tidy little value on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 191st overall pick, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
Pick197 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
The board had cheaper options than Joshua Gray at pick No. 197, and it noticed. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick208 Rnd6 Phil Mafah
A real head-scratcher, Phil Mafah in Round 6, Pick 32 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
