Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos robbed the room for Wheatley. Final grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Broncos watched Zakee Wheatley slide 30 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick62 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
Value with a capital V on Lee Hunter in the 62nd overall pick, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick111 Rnd4 Connor Lew
Connor Lew in Round 4, Pick 11 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick115 Rnd4 Zakee Wheatley
They barely believed it either: Zakee Wheatley still on the board at No. 115. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick162 Rnd5 Charles Demmings
Charles Demmings slipping to pick No. 162 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick170 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
Fair-plus on Kevin Coleman Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick246 Rnd7 Miles Kitselman
Miles Kitselman at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick256 Rnd7 Desmond Reid
A quiet steal in pick 256: Desmond Reid for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick257 Rnd7 John Michael Gyllenborg
The board fumbled John Michael Gyllenborg all the way to the 257th pick, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
