Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Broncos to a 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. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.

The Pratt reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick No. 12 they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They liked T'Vondre Sweat enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 49. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at the 74th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson in the 76th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick79 Rnd3 Michael Pratt
Value said wait; Michael Pratt in Round 3, Pick 15 says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick96 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A conviction pick on Khyree Jackson at the Round 3 slot that the board grades a round light. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick109 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
They read the board right and Blake Fisher was the payoff at No. 109. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick113 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darius Robinson. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick117 Rnd4 Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop in pick No. 121 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick149 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
No drama and no debate, Braelon Allen went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 13. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick151 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett at slot 151 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick155 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at pick 155 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick189 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
Nothing to complain about; Josh Proctor went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick195 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
They paid a round early for Tanor Bortolini in the 195th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick233 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
By-the-book stuff, Eric Gentry at No. 233 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick235 Rnd7 Xavier Thomas
They paid up for Xavier Thomas at pick 235 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick240 Rnd7 Walter Rouse
They went early on Walter Rouse in pick No. 240, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick254 Rnd7 Troy Omeire
Troy Omeire at the 254th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A need, and now a little less of one.
