Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos cashed the board's mistake on Nelson: B-.

When a board-topper like Jack Nelson slides to pick 197, you do not overthink it, and the Broncos did not. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In pick No. 20 they get a home-run threat at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at the Round 2 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick85 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the 85th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick122 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Terrance Ferguson at pick 122 is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick191 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. is a better player than Round 6, Pick 15 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
They barely believed it either: Jack Nelson still on the board at slot 197. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
