Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall F
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesF FutureF
A weekend the Broncos spent ahead of the board, for worse: F.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Nathan Pickering; the Broncos did not wait, grabbing him 164 spots ahead at No. 219.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The McMillan pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with tight end still staring back at them.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
A premium they did not need to pay, Emeka Egbuka a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick41 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
A conviction pick on J.J. McCarthy at the 41st overall pick that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick57 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu in Round 2, Pick 25 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick64 Rnd2 Denzel Burke
A quiet steal in pick 64: Denzel Burke for less than the market said. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick75 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with Ja'Lynn Polk worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick94 Rnd3 Blake Corum
They read the board right and Blake Corum was the payoff at pick No. 94. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick113 Rnd4 Keith Randolph Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Keith Randolph Jr. this early at slot 113. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick125 Rnd4 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Value said wait; Zion Tupuola-Fetui in Round 4, Pick 25 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick127 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
They robbed the room for Jalen McMillan here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick131 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Circle this one: Matt Goncalves at No. 131 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick149 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Roger Rosengarten. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick159 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
They barely believed it either: Jarrian Jones still on the board at the Round 5 slot. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick186 Rnd6 Nehemiah Pritchett
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Nehemiah Pritchett in the 186th pick, plain and simple. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron in pick 194 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick203 Rnd6 Andru Phillips
Andru Phillips at pick No. 203 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick209 Rnd6 Jabbar Muhammad
A tidy little value on Jabbar Muhammad in No. 209, a step better than break-even. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick217 Rnd6 Zion Logue
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Zion Logue well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick219 Rnd6 Nathan Pickering
They reached a country mile for Nathan Pickering at the 219th pick, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick232 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick233 Rnd7 Omar Speights
They did well to land Omar Speights in slot 233, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick241 Rnd7 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They talked themselves into Antwaun Powell-Ryland at the 241st overall pick, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick243 Rnd7 Donell Harris Jr.
They reached into another round for Donell Harris Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick246 Rnd7 Rondell Bothroyd
A real head-scratcher, Rondell Bothroyd in pick 246 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick256 Rnd7 MJ Sherman
A wild overpay on MJ Sherman in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
