Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Broncos started one anyway for Michael Pratt, 61 picks ahead of schedule.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Rosemy-Jacksaint. The Broncos indulged a want in Solomon while a need in edge rusher, tight end and other spots stayed open.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the 12th overall pick they get a sticky cover corner. More want than need.
Pick76 Rnd3 Michael Pratt
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Michael Pratt well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick122 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went OLB-EDGE with Javon Solomon while clear needs at edge rusher, tight end and other spots sat open.
Pick144 Rnd5 Fabien Lovett
They took Fabien Lovett at par in the 144th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick146 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
They paid sticker price for Marist Liufau in slot 146, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick237 Rnd7 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They barely believed it either: Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint still on the board at Round 7, Pick 17. It fills a real need, too.
