Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall C
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Broncos bled value on every deal, hence the C.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Broncos took Jackson Hawes at Round 6, Pick 21, roughly 57 spots before his name belonged. It nets out a thoroughly average C.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Skattebo value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Quantity was the play, for better or worse.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
By-the-book stuff, TreVeyon Henderson at the 51st pick squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick85 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
They took Darius Alexander at par in the 85th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick109 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo is a better player than pick 109 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
They did well to land Jacob Parrish in pick No. 122, just ahead of his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick132 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron at Round 4, Pick 30 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick177 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
No drama and no debate, Dont'e Thornton Jr. went about where he belonged in No. 177. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick191 Rnd6 Tyler Cooper
Tyler Cooper at the Round 6 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jackson Hawes
Value said wait; Jackson Hawes in pick 197 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick208 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
They talked themselves into Cam Jackson at slot 208, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
