Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC
The Broncos turned the phones into found money: B+.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Broncos reached some 53 spots for Jalen Thompson, and value like that does not grow back. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

Getting Orange where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick 31 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick73 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
Germie Bernard slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick108 Rnd4 Domonique Orange
Circle this one: Domonique Orange at the 108th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jack Endries
A tight end of that caliber at No. 131 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick169 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
Max Iheanachor in pick No. 169 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick247 Rnd7 Jerry Wilson
No edge and no loss on Jerry Wilson in Round 7, Pick 31; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick251 Rnd7 Jalen Thompson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jalen Thompson well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
