Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
The Broncos cashed the board's mistake on Watson: D+.

The phones were a trap the Broncos kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Watson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

The Broncos clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before. Linebacker is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get juice off the edge, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick92 Rnd3 DJ James
Fair-plus on DJ James, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick110 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Nice patience on Brenden Rice, who had no business lasting to the 110th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick144 Rnd5 Michael Pratt
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 5 slot with a little surplus value in Michael Pratt. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick148 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at No. 148 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick178 Rnd6 Dallin Holker
You do not let a tight end like Dallin Holker reach pick No. 178 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick199 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
They will replay Caedan Wallace at the 199th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick237 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Somehow Nathaniel Watson was still sitting there in pick No. 237, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick252 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in slot 252 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
