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

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Cobee Bryant, pick 210, roughly 35 picks past where he belonged.

The Vinson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Job largely done: linebacker settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the Round 1 slot they get a rangy last line of defense. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in the 51st pick is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick85 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at Round 3, Pick 21 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick121 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Terrance Ferguson in slot 121. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick193 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
The board fumbled Dont'e Thornton Jr. all the way to the 193rd overall pick, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick199 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson at pick No. 199 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick210 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at No. 210 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor itch, scratched.
