Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Broncos 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. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They will need Mahogany to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
A clean, defensible pick in pick 33 with a little surplus value in J.J. McCarthy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick73 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. in No. 73 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick76 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker in the 76th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick84 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
The board had cheaper options than Christian Mahogany at Round 3, Pick 20, and it noticed. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick87 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A reach on Khyree Jackson in slot 87; the board had better options right there. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick95 Rnd3 MarShawn Lloyd
A straight-up fair deal on MarShawn Lloyd at the 95th pick, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick96 Rnd3 Cam Hart
No edge and no loss on Cam Hart in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick100 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves at pick No. 100 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick101 Rnd4 Maason Smith
Maason Smith at Round 4, Pick 1 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick121 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Javon Foster. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick136 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
They let Johnny Wilson come to them and pounced at the 136th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick145 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
By-the-book stuff, Dallin Holker at the 145th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick147 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick152 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson in pick No. 152 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick173 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
No drama and no debate, Layden Robinson went about where he belonged in slot 173. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick203 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson slipping to No. 203 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at the Round 6 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
