Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in Round 7, Pick 32: the Broncos steal Amos and grade out a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Trey Amos, pick No. 250, roughly 199 picks past where he belonged.

The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with interior defensive lineman the one that mattered most. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Their trades came out a wash either way.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 20 they get a centerpiece for the ground game, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jahdae Barron
They will replay Jahdae Barron at pick 51 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick85 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Taking Colston Loveland in Round 3, Pick 21 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick121 Rnd4 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick199 Rnd6 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at pick No. 199 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick207 Rnd6 Josaiah Stewart
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Josaiah Stewart in No. 207, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jack Bech
Jack Bech at the 210th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tre Harris
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 238th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick250 Rnd7 Trey Amos
Steal is underselling it; Trey Amos at pick No. 250 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
