Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Broncos: B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Broncos shredded theirs for Brady Cook. He came off 58 spots early, and the room will hear about it. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Williams. Tight end 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 linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the Round 1 slot they get a red-zone target to build around at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick51 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson in No. 51 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick85 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at slot 85 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick121 Rnd4 Savion Williams
They will replay Savion Williams at the 121st pick for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 193, where Jason Marshall Jr. graded well above the range. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick199 Rnd6 Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. at Round 6, Pick 21 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick210 Rnd6 Brady Cook
Brady Cook at the 210th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
