Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Broncos: B.

Nobody had Graham Mertz this high, and it is not close. The Broncos reached 116 spots to get him at No. 195. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The Ransom steal is the beam this whole class leans on. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the 20th overall pick they get a wrecking ball inside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick51 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. at slot 51 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick86 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
You do not let a running back like Omarion Hampton reach No. 86 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick120 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick No. 120 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick157 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jared Wilson at the Round 5 slot is the proof. The roster fit checks out.
Pick189 Rnd6 Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at the 189th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick195 Rnd6 Graham Mertz
They left a pile of value on the table to take Graham Mertz this early at No. 195. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
They will replay Jeffrey Bassa at pick 205 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick218 Rnd7 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson in pick No. 218 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
