Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The tape said wait; the Broncos did not. Luke McCaffrey went at Round 4, Pick 22, a good 43 picks before the board was ready. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a disruptor off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
A conviction pick on Bucky Irving at slot 76 that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick122 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in pick 122 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
