Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Broncos.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Dayon Hayes; the Broncos did not wait, grabbing him 56 spots ahead at the 200th pick. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. Pierce falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
Fair-plus on James Pearce Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick53 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
No edge and no loss on Tyler Warren in Round 2, Pick 21; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in slot 87 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick199 Rnd6 Antwane Wells Jr.
A tidy little value on Antwane Wells Jr. in pick 199, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick200 Rnd6 Dayon Hayes
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dayon Hayes this early at pick No. 200. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
