Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF 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.

They will need Capehart to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, tight end very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Rome Odunze. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick43 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
They paid sticker price for J.J. McCarthy in Round 2, Pick 11, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick52 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
A reach for T'Vondre Sweat in the 52nd pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick74 Rnd3 Junior Colson
By-the-book stuff, Junior Colson at pick 74 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
No edge and no loss on Jalen McMillan in No. 76; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick109 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in slot 109 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick113 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
No drama and no debate, Darius Robinson went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick121 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster at the 121st overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick124 Rnd4 Beaux Limmer
The board had cheaper options than Beaux Limmer at the 124th pick, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick149 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
A straight-up fair deal on Braelon Allen at No. 149, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick189 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at Round 6, Pick 14 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick212 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at pick No. 212 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick233 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry in slot 233 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick240 Rnd7 Ja'Had Carter
They took Ja'Had Carter at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick241 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
This one needs a full-page explanation: DeMonte Capehart in the 241st overall pick, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
