Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos cashed the board's mistake on Paul Jr.: B.

The Broncos did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Chris Paul Jr. fell into pick No. 193. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with linebacker the one that mattered most. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 20th pick they get a security blanket over the middle at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They will replay Omarion Hampton at the 51st overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick85 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at pick 85 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick121 Rnd4 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in Round 4, Pick 20 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick193 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
They robbed the room for Chris Paul Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick199 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
They barely believed it either: Cam Skattebo still on the board at pick No. 199. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick210 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey at slot 210 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
