Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueC NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Broncos fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

The Thor Griffith pick is the one that will follow the Broncos into the fall. They took him 76 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The Higgins value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
They reached a country mile for Colston Loveland at pick No. 36, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jay Higgins
A linebacker of that caliber at slot 124 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick194 Rnd6 Davison Igbinosun
This one needs a full-page explanation: Davison Igbinosun in the 194th overall pick, miles early. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick197 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Thor Griffith well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick206 Rnd6 Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at Round 6, Pick 31 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
