Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Broncos let Restrepo fall and pounced. Final grade: A.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Xavier Restrepo tumbling to the Broncos in the 114th pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They are betting Horsley proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The Broncos paired the rookies with proven help, T.J. Edwards leading the way.

Bottom line, with Tetairoa McMillan leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a true top target, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick72 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
Nice patience on TreVeyon Henderson, who had no business lasting to the 72nd overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick85 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at slot 85 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick114 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
They robbed the room for Xavier Restrepo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin in the 174th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in pick 208 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick212 Rnd6 Cam Horsley
They paid a round early for Cam Horsley in No. 212, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick218 Rnd7 Jay Higgins
They barely believed it either: Jay Higgins still on the board at pick No. 218. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick242 Rnd7 Carson Vinson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Carson Vinson at the 242nd pick is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jeremy Crawshaw
They paid sticker price for Jeremy Crawshaw in the Round 7 slot, and that is fine. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
