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

Call it larceny. Dylan Sampson sat on the board until pick No. 195, and the Broncos did not need to be asked twice. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They are betting Wedig proves the room right and everyone else wrong. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick 19 they get an anchor for the defensive front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick51 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III in pick No. 51 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick88 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
You do not let a tight end like Tyler Warren reach the 88th overall pick and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick120 Rnd4 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in slot 120 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick125 Rnd4 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor at No. 125 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick195 Rnd6 Dylan Sampson
Taking Dylan Sampson in the 195th pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick196 Rnd6 Cody Simon
The board fumbled Cody Simon all the way to Round 6, Pick 21, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jake Majors
They robbed the room for Jake Majors here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick219 Rnd7 Trey Wedig
They reached a country mile for Trey Wedig at Round 7, Pick 5, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
