Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureB
Grand theft in slot 206: the Broncos steal Thornton Jr. and grade out a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Dont'e Thornton Jr., the No. 183 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 206.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Reaching for Taylor left real value on the table behind him. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Shavon Revel Jr.
In the 30th pick they get a lockdown presence outside. More want than need.
Pick56 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at pick 56 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick58 Rnd2 Mason Taylor
A wild overpay on Mason Taylor in pick No. 58, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jack Bech
A wide receiver of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jordan Phillips in Round 4, Pick 20. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cody Simon
Cody Simon at the 132nd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick166 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
No drama and no debate, Seth McLaughlin went about where he belonged in No. 166. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick191 Rnd6 Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton in slot 191 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick197 Rnd6 Caleb Rogers
No edge and no loss on Caleb Rogers in pick No. 197; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick206 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 206th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick208 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
They took R.J. Mickens at par in No. 208, which is nothing to complain about. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
