Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB
The Broncos bled value on every deal, hence the D.

The Broncos put a flag in the ground for Taylen Green, 45 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. However the rest shakes out, Lane at that price is a win they earned. Linebacker is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Elijah Higgins gives the group a proven body among the projects.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick87 Rnd3 Jake Golday
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Jake Golday in pick No. 87, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick90 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
Steal is underselling it; Jadarian Price at the 90th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick104 Rnd4 Elijah Sarratt
Circle this one: Elijah Sarratt at Round 4, Pick 4 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick108 Rnd4 Gracen Halton
A big swing on Gracen Halton at the 108th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick111 Rnd4 Dametrious Crownover
Dametrious Crownover at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick130 Rnd4 Ja'Kobi Lane
Somehow Ja'Kobi Lane was still sitting there in slot 130, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick143 Rnd5 Taylen Green
A wild overpay on Taylen Green in No. 143, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick151 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
Kaleb Elarms-Orr in slot 151 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick170 Rnd5 VJ Payne
This one needs a full-page explanation: VJ Payne in the 170th overall pick, miles early. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick183 Rnd6 Thaddeus Dixon
They talked themselves into Thaddeus Dixon at the Round 6 slot, and the board did not agree. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick227 Rnd7 Josh Cuevas
Josh Cuevas at Round 7, Pick 11 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
