Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Broncos.

The tape said wait; the Broncos did not. Cam Horsley went at No. 208, a good 32 picks before the board was ready.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Thornton Jr. pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick 20 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick51 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the 51st pick is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick85 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
They went early on Zy Alexander in the 85th overall pick, and the value did not follow. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick122 Rnd4 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in No. 122 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick191 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dont'e Thornton Jr. at Round 6, Pick 15. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick198 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
They paid up for R.J. Mickens at slot 198 when waiting would have done the job. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick208 Rnd6 Cam Horsley
Cam Horsley at slot 208 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick250 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
LaJohntay Wester at pick 250 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
