Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Grand theft in pick No. 189: the Broncos steal Judkins and grade out a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Quinshon Judkins, the Round 6 slot, roughly 116 picks past where he belonged.

They will need Sheppard to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka at No. 22 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick51 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
A quiet steal in the 51st pick: Tyler Warren for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick85 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Andrew Mukuba at the 85th overall pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick86 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at Round 3, Pick 22 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick120 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
Circle this one: TreVeyon Henderson at slot 120 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick189 Rnd6 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at pick 189 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick195 Rnd6 Cody Simon
A linebacker of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock in pick No. 230 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick249 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
Will Sheppard in pick No. 249 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick255 Rnd7 Luke Lachey
A reasonable price with a little left over, Luke Lachey in the 255th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
