Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B+
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Singleton should have been long gone. The Broncos pounced, and earned a B+.

The Broncos did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Nicholas Singleton fell into slot 192. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

Every board in the league had Lacy lower, and that gap is the story. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart at Round 2, Pick 21 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick60 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in slot 60 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick100 Rnd3 Smael Mondon Jr.
Somehow Smael Mondon Jr. was still sitting there in the 100th pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jay Higgins
The board fumbled Jay Higgins all the way to the 112th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick118 Rnd4 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in pick 118 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick122 Rnd4 Colston Loveland
Steal is underselling it; Colston Loveland at No. 122 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick177 Rnd6 Ricky White III
By-the-book stuff, Ricky White III at pick No. 177 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick192 Rnd6 Nicholas Singleton
Taking Nicholas Singleton in the 192nd overall pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick197 Rnd6 Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick206 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
You do not let a running back like Ollie Gordon II reach No. 206 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
