Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos robbed the room for Collins. Final grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Alfred Collins got past him. The Broncos do not have to explain a thing at Round 3, Pick 21. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
Nothing to complain about; Mykel Williams went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Fair-plus on Jonah Savaiinaea, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick85 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Steal is underselling it; Alfred Collins at pick No. 85 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick121 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo slipping to Round 4, Pick 20 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick193 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
They read the board right and Quincy Riley was the payoff at the Round 6 slot. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
A quiet steal in the 199th overall pick: Jaylen Reed for less than the market said. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick210 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
The board had Luke Lachey higher than No. 210, and the tight end fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
