Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D
ValueF NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Hard to find the plan in the Broncos' weekend. D.

The Evan Prater selection is the head-turner. The Broncos reached 347 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

Landing Nolen that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Elijhah Badger
Elijhah Badger at slot 20 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jalin Conyers
They talked themselves into Jalin Conyers at the 51st pick, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick85 Rnd3 Howard Cross III
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Howard Cross III well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick122 Rnd4 Evan Prater
A big swing on Evan Prater at pick 122, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick191 Rnd6 Aireontae Ersery
Circle this one: Aireontae Ersery at pick No. 191 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick192 Rnd6 Walter Nolen
They will replay Walter Nolen at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick208 Rnd6 Alijah Clark
Alijah Clark in pick No. 208 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
