Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Broncos and Moore: B.

When a board-topper like Dante Moore slides to No. 250, you do not overthink it, and the Broncos did not.

They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 51st overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick83 Rnd3 Zane Durant
Zane Durant in the 83rd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jack Endries
Jack Endries at pick 119 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick158 Rnd5 DJ McKinney
No edge and no loss on DJ McKinney in pick No. 158; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick232 Rnd7 Riley Mahlman
Riley Mahlman at No. 232 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick250 Rnd7 Dante Moore
You do not let a quarterback like Dante Moore reach Round 7, Pick 34 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick254 Rnd7 Shamar Porter
The board fumbled Shamar Porter all the way to slot 254, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
