Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Broncos: B.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Thor Griffith; the Broncos did not wait, grabbing him 76 spots ahead at No. 210.

On value alone, King makes the weekend a net positive. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a matchup weapon at tight end. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick85 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
They will replay Xavier Watts at pick 85 for years; that is how good the value is. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick121 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at pick No. 121 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
They robbed the room for Jonah Monheim here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick199 Rnd6 Kobe King
The board fumbled Kobe King all the way to slot 199, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick210 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
A big swing on Thor Griffith at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
