Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB
The Broncos robbed the room for Mahogany. Final grade: D-.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Broncos did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. Too much went sideways, and the D- is the honest tally.

If Carter pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

They banked enough surplus on Mahogany to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and tight end is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 12th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A conviction pick on T'Vondre Sweat at the 43rd overall pick that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick55 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick No. 55 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick74 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Payton Wilson in Round 3, Pick 10. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Michael Pratt
They reached into another round for Michael Pratt, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick109 Rnd4 Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams in No. 109 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
They robbed the room for Christian Mahogany here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Cam Hart
A premium they did not need to pay, Cam Hart a notch or two before his time. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick124 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
No drama and no debate, Justin Eboigbe went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 24. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick138 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nehemiah Pritchett. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick149 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
They took Braelon Allen at par in pick 149, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick189 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark in the 189th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick212 Rnd6 Ja'Had Carter
Ja'Had Carter in slot 212 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick233 Rnd7 Myles Jones
Myles Jones in No. 233 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick240 Rnd7 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse at the 240th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick241 Rnd7 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas at Round 7, Pick 21 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
