Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Broncos let Hadden fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Broncos came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.

They banked enough surplus on Hadden to cover a lot of smaller sins. Every board in the league had Jackson lower, and that gap is the story.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
Nothing to complain about; J.J. McCarthy went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kiran Amegadjie at pick 76. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick84 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Michael Hall Jr. at the 84th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A premium they did not need to pay, Khyree Jackson a notch or two before his time. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick89 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
No drama and no debate, Dominick Puni went about where he belonged in No. 89. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick93 Rnd3 Cam Hart
Cam Hart in Round 3, Pick 30 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick94 Rnd3 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd in the 94th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick101 Rnd4 Maason Smith
They paid up for Maason Smith at No. 101 when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick102 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They paid a round early for Cedric Gray in slot 102, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick121 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
By-the-book stuff, Theo Johnson at pick No. 121 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A tidy little value on Johnny Wilson in the Round 4 slot, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick136 Rnd4 Brennan Jackson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brennan Jackson well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick145 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at the 145th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick147 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse in Round 5, Pick 11 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick195 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in No. 195 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick203 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
The board had Tahj Washington higher than slot 203, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at pick No. 207 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
