Draft Grade — Broncos

FutureB
The phones sank the Broncos this weekend: D. If confidence were a draft strategy, the Broncos would have aced it. Steven Parker at pick 199 is 79 spots clear of where he belonged.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up.
The Klubnik value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, linebacker very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Tre Harris
In No. 26 they get a difference-maker at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Watts. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick84
Rnd3
Quinshon Judkins
They took Quinshon Judkins at par in the 84th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick97
Rnd3
Cade Klubnik
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Cade Klubnik in pick No. 97, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick115
Rnd4
Jermari Harris
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jermari Harris this early at the Round 4 slot. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick120
Rnd4
Blake Miller
Blake Miller in the 120th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149
Rnd5
Bryson Nesbit
A big swing on Bryson Nesbit at pick 149, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152
Rnd5
Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at pick No. 152 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick167
Rnd5
Kyle McCord
Value said wait; Kyle McCord in the 167th pick says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick182
Rnd6
Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron in the 182nd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick194
Rnd6
Dayon Hayes
Dayon Hayes at Round 6, Pick 19 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick199
Rnd6
Steven Parker
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Steven Parker well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick201
Rnd6
Amari Kight
Amari Kight slid further than he should have, and the Round 6 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick206
Rnd6
Gentry Williams
Somehow Gentry Williams was still sitting there in slot 206, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick208
Rnd6
Jimmy Horn Jr.
They reached into another round for Jimmy Horn Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick256
Rnd7
Will Sheppard
Will Sheppard in pick No. 256 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
