Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
Grand theft in slot 111: the Broncos steal Scott and grade out a B.

The Broncos did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Keionte Scott fell into the Round 4 slot.

The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick79 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at the 79th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jake Golday
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Jake Golday in pick 108, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Keionte Scott
Keionte Scott in the 111th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick170 Rnd5 Zxavian Harris
A tidy bit of business in slot 170, where Zxavian Harris graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick215 Rnd6 Keagen Trost
Steal is underselling it; Keagen Trost at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick246 Rnd7 Kaden Wetjen
Kaden Wetjen at pick No. 246 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick256 Rnd7 Jalen Huskey
Good price on Jalen Huskey in No. 256, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick257 Rnd7 Zavion Thomas
They will replay Zavion Thomas at Round 7, Pick 41 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
