Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Broncos, and a B- to prove it.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Broncos took Joe Milton III at pick 121, roughly 41 spots before his name belonged.

They will answer for taking DT-EDGE early while interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots went begging. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Pritchett falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the 12th overall pick they get a blindside protector at fair value.
Pick76 Rnd3 Maason Smith
A surprising call. With interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots still to address, they spent slot 76 on Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE they were not short of.
Pick113 Rnd4 Will Shipley
They paid a round early for Will Shipley in pick No. 113, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick121 Rnd4 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Nehemiah Pritchett in the 149th pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick233 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
No edge and no loss on Eric Gentry in Round 7, Pick 13; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jordan Johnson
Jordan Johnson in slot 240 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
