Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos let Johnson fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Tez Johnson got past him. The Broncos do not have to explain a thing at pick 122.

That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They will need Barrow Jr. to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 20th overall pick they get a security blanket over the middle. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Taking Omarion Hampton in the 51st pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick85 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
A reach for Zy Alexander in the Round 3 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Circle this one: Tez Johnson at No. 122 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick191 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
Somehow Ajani Cornelius was still sitting there in slot 191, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick197 Rnd6 Simeon Barrow Jr.
Simeon Barrow Jr. in pick No. 197 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick208 Rnd6 Cam Horsley
Cam Horsley at Round 6, Pick 32 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
