Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
The Broncos cashed the board's mistake on Gabriel: B-.

The board owed the Broncos one, and it paid up: Dillon Gabriel, the No. 76 name on the board, sitting there at the 127th pick like a gift left on the doorstep. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The Slackman pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it.

The Broncos paired the rookies with proven help, Jaylon Johnson leading the way. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Tre Harris
In the 26th pick they get a difference-maker at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
A premium they did not need to pay, Derrick Harmon a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
They jumped the gun on Tyler Warren, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick123 Rnd4 Riley Mahlman
The board fumbled Riley Mahlman all the way to Round 4, Pick 22, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick127 Rnd4 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel in pick 127 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick199 Rnd6 Antonio Williams
They will replay Antonio Williams at the 199th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick200 Rnd6 Joey Slackman
They left a pile of value on the table to take Joey Slackman this early at slot 200. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
