Draft Grade — Broncos

FutureB-
The Broncos got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D. Somebody took the Broncos to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.
They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. If Jones pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Wiley falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
In pick 12 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
A slide stopped in Round 2, Pick 4, with Keon Coleman worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick67
Rnd3
Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks in the 67th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76
Rnd3
Johnny Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Johnny Wilson at No. 76, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick113
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick122
Rnd4
Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea at pick No. 122 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick124
Rnd4
Jordan Travis
The board had cheaper options than Jordan Travis at slot 124, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick141
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
A conviction pick on Ty'Ron Hopper at the 141st pick that the board grades a round light. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick149
Rnd5
Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers at the 149th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick181
Rnd6
Jordan Jefferson
They paid a round early for Jordan Jefferson in slot 181, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick233
Rnd7
Jared Wiley
The board had Jared Wiley higher than the Round 7 slot, and the tight end fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick241
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones in the 241st pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
