Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Broncos for Cornelius: B-.

The Broncos spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Ajani Cornelius, the No. 166 name on the board, in the 193rd pick. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up. If Norman-Lott pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the 20th overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott in No. 51 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick85 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
They paid sticker price for Gunnar Helm in pick No. 85, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick121 Rnd4 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at the Round 4 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick193 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
You do not let an offensive lineman like Ajani Cornelius reach the 193rd pick and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick199 Rnd6 Roc Taylor
Nice patience on Roc Taylor, who had no business lasting to Round 6, Pick 21. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
