Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD+
The Broncos won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

The Broncos looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Michael Pratt at Round 3, Pick 33 regardless, 44 picks early. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hadden. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
Jer'Zhan Newton in the Round 1 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Nice patience on Chris Braswell, who had no business lasting to No. 58. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A tidy bit of business in pick 76, where Jeremiah Trotter Jr. graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick78 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum in pick No. 78 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick96 Rnd3 Michael Pratt
A wild overpay on Michael Pratt in slot 96, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick115 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Taking Brenden Rice in the 115th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick136 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at the 136th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
They let Jarrian Jones come to them and pounced at slot 145. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick147 Rnd5 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Tyrone Tracy Jr. at Round 5, Pick 11 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick209 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
The board fumbled Kamal Hadden all the way to the Round 6 slot, and they scooped it up. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
