Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB+
The Broncos let McCaffrey fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Broncos were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Getting McCaffrey where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

The Broncos paired the rookies with proven help, Sam Cosmi leading the way.

Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jared Verse
By-the-book stuff, Jared Verse at the 12th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick79 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Cade Stover in the 79th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick121 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
Fair-plus on Spencer Rattler, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick136 Rnd4 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the Round 4 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick145 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in No. 145 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick169 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
You do not let a wide receiver like Luke McCaffrey reach pick No. 169 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick203 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
A conviction pick on Caedan Wallace at the Round 6 slot that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
