Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos let Gordon II fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

Call it larceny. Ollie Gordon II sat on the board until the Round 6 slot, and the Broncos did not need to be asked twice. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. Every board in the league had Burden III lower, and that gap is the story. Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver, even if it was a touch early. A real need, handled.
Pick54 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
The board had cheaper options than Colston Loveland at pick 54, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jalen Royals at the 85th pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick124 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. slipping to the 124th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick194 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in pick No. 194 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick197 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at No. 197 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick206 Rnd6 Rod Moore
No drama and no debate, Rod Moore went about where he belonged in slot 206. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
