Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesD+ FutureB
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Broncos: C+.

The Kai Kroeger selection is the head-turner. The Broncos reached 72 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

Dotson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

So much rides on Emeka Egbuka that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Emeka Egbuka at No. 34. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick51 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
No edge and no loss on TreVeyon Henderson in slot 51; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick65 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at pick No. 65 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick85 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
The board had cheaper options than Cam Skattebo at the 85th overall pick, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick122 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
Fair-plus on Terrance Ferguson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick154 Rnd5 Mello Dotson
They robbed the room for Mello Dotson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick169 Rnd5 JJ Pegues
By-the-book stuff, JJ Pegues at pick No. 169 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick191 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Carson Vinson in the 191st pick, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick197 Rnd6 Kai Kroeger
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kai Kroeger this early at the 197th overall pick. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes in Round 6, Pick 32 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
