Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Broncos: B-.

The Broncos torched the value chart for Trey Wedig, taking him 96 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

Skattebo at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 20th overall pick they get a matchup weapon at tight end, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick51 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams in pick No. 51 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
A quiet steal in the 87th pick: Andrew Mukuba for less than the market said. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick123 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Nicholas Singleton in No. 123, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick190 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at pick 190 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick195 Rnd6 Trey Wedig
Value said wait; Trey Wedig in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick205 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
You do not let a running back like Cam Skattebo reach the 205th overall pick and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
