Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

Some picks age like wine; Skyler Gill-Howard at slot 108 will need to, sitting 24 spots clear of his grade.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. That Anderson pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Chris Bell
In the 30th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Max Klare
Good price on Max Klare in the 62nd overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jacob Rodriguez. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick108 Rnd4 Skyler Gill-Howard
Skyler Gill-Howard in No. 108 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick130 Rnd4 Albert Regis
This one needs a full-page explanation: Albert Regis in the Round 4 slot, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick168 Rnd5 Aaron Anderson
Value with a capital V on Aaron Anderson in slot 168, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick246 Rnd7 Alex Harkey
They took Alex Harkey at par in No. 246, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick251 Rnd7 Will Kacmarek
Will Kacmarek at the 251st overall pick is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick255 Rnd7 Denver Harris
No drama and no debate, Denver Harris went about where he belonged in pick 255. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
