Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Broncos and Hampton: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Omarion Hampton, the Round 2 slot, roughly 21 picks past where he belonged.

For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In No. 20 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick51 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
A running back of that caliber at the 51st pick is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick85 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Good price on Mason Taylor in slot 85, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick121 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They read the board right and Cam Skattebo was the payoff at pick No. 121. A need, and now a little less of one.
