Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Skattebo should have been long gone. The Broncos pounced, and earned a B.

When a board-topper like Cam Skattebo slides to No. 189, you do not overthink it, and the Broncos did not. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

They will need Horn Jr. to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Colston Loveland
In pick 20 they get a mismatch in the passing game. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Nice patience on Tyleik Williams, who had no business lasting to slot 51. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick85 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at pick No. 85 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick120 Rnd4 Carson Schwesinger
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 120 is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick189 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at Round 6, Pick 14 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick195 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin in the 195th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jimmy Horn Jr.
Jimmy Horn Jr. at the Round 6 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
