Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos won the night they stopped Smith from sliding. Grade: B.

Somebody in No. 195 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Broncos sat still while Brashard Smith, the No. 110 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Griffith has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 20th pick they get a matchup weapon at tight end. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Fair-plus on Xavier Watts, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick85 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
They barely believed it either: TreVeyon Henderson still on the board at pick 85. It fills a real need, too.
Pick120 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in pick No. 120 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick189 Rnd6 Tonka Hemingway
They reached into another round for Tonka Hemingway, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick195 Rnd6 Brashard Smith
Steal is underselling it; Brashard Smith at Round 6, Pick 20 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick205 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in the 205th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
