Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB
The Broncos cashed the board's mistake on Trice: D.

The phones were a trap the Broncos kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. Hard to defend, and the D reflects that.

They will need McLachlan to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The Trice pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a true top target at fair value.
Pick43 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice in pick No. 43 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick64 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
Circle this one: J.J. McCarthy at the 64th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick74 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Johnny Wilson at pick 74, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick76 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They did well to land Payton Wilson in slot 76, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick95 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Nice patience on Maason Smith, who had no business lasting to the 95th pick. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
Pick109 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Good price on Matt Goncalves in the 109th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick113 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at pick 113 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick122 Rnd4 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett in No. 122 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at pick No. 149 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
They jumped the gun on Jordan Jefferson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick189 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in the Round 6 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick233 Rnd7 Ja'Had Carter
They took Ja'Had Carter at par in Round 7, Pick 13, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick241 Rnd7 Tanner McLachlan
They reached into another round for Tanner McLachlan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
