Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos let Neal fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Call it larceny. Devin Neal sat on the board until Round 6, Pick 24, and the Broncos did not need to be asked twice.

The Hemingway pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In slot 23 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value.
Pick54 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in No. 54 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick88 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Somehow TreVeyon Henderson was still sitting there in pick 88, and they pounced on premier running back value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick124 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
A safety of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick191 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Smael Mondon Jr. at Round 6, Pick 16 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick199 Rnd6 Devin Neal
Circle this one: Devin Neal at pick No. 199 is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick205 Rnd6 Tonka Hemingway
A real head-scratcher, Tonka Hemingway in the 205th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
