Chaim34 DRAFTING FOR THEBroncos
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall

Best value of the weekend goes to the Broncos for Lemon: C+. You could see the war room lean forward. Makai Lemon at slot 91 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.
The Stowers reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.
Linebacker is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
If Eli Stowers and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
Eli Stowers
In the 27th pick they get a red-zone target to build around, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60
Rnd2
Sonny Styles
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Sonny Styles at the 60th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick91
Rnd3
Makai Lemon
They barely believed it either: Makai Lemon still on the board at pick 91. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick101
Rnd4
Justice Haynes
Justice Haynes at No. 101 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick128
Rnd4
Michael Trigg
By-the-book stuff, Michael Trigg at Round 4, Pick 28 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick167
Rnd5
Terion Stewart
Terion Stewart in pick No. 167 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick242
Rnd7
Bear Alexander
They liked Bear Alexander enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 7 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick250
Rnd7
J. Michael Sturdivant
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on J. Michael Sturdivant. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick253
Rnd7
Elliot Washington II
They took Elliot Washington II at par in the 253rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick257
Rnd7
Avery Johnson
Avery Johnson at the 257th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
