Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 190th overall pick: the Broncos steal Mondon Jr. and grade out a B-.

The board owed the Broncos one, and it paid up: Smael Mondon Jr., the No. 106 name on the board, sitting there at Round 6, Pick 15 like a gift left on the doorstep. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

If Williams pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the Round 1 slot they get a centerfielder for the defense at fair value.
Pick51 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Fair-plus on Tyler Warren, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
They let Jayden Higgins come to them and pounced at the 87th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick123 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cam Skattebo at pick 123 is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
Pick190 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Smael Mondon Jr. reach No. 190 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick195 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at pick No. 195 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick205 Rnd6 Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway at slot 205 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
