Kyoung22 DRAFTING FOR THEBroncos
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall
B-

FutureB-
The Broncos checked most of the boxes and earned a B-. The Broncos looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Jacob Rodriguez at the 62nd overall pick regardless, 32 picks early.
A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Landing King that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Kenyon Sadiq
In the Round 1 slot they get a red-zone target to build around, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62
Rnd2
Jacob Rodriguez
A real head-scratcher, Jacob Rodriguez in Round 2, Pick 30 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick94
Rnd3
Emmett Johnson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Emmett Johnson at slot 94 is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick108
Rnd4
Tim Keenan III
Tim Keenan III at pick 108 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick130
Rnd4
CJ Daniels
They paid sticker price for CJ Daniels in No. 130, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick168
Rnd5
Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at the 168th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick246
Rnd7
Roman Hemby
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Roman Hemby. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick251
Rnd7
Colbie Young
No edge and no loss on Colbie Young in the 251st pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick255
Rnd7
Haynes King
A tidy bit of business in the 255th overall pick, where Haynes King graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
