Draft Grade — Broncos

FutureB-
The Broncos worked the phones like thieves and earned a B. The Broncos treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 136th pick on AJ Barner a full 35 spots early. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The McGlothern pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
Adding Hunter Henry by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick34
Rnd2
Bo Nix
Bo Nix at slot 34 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
A clean, defensible pick in pick 76 with a little surplus value in Sedrick Van Pran. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick83
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
They jumped the gun on Christian Mahogany, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick87
Rnd3
Braelon Allen
A big swing on Braelon Allen at No. 87, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
They took Gabriel Murphy at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick93
Rnd3
Leonard Taylor III
They liked Leonard Taylor III enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 3, Pick 30. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick102
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in the 102nd pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick103
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
The board had Khyree Jackson higher than Round 4, Pick 3, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick121
Rnd4
Javon Foster
No drama and no debate, Javon Foster went about where he belonged in slot 121. It fills a real need, too.
Pick136
Rnd4
AJ Barner
Value said wait; AJ Barner in No. 136 says they were not listening. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick145
Rnd5
Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at the 145th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick147
Rnd5
Tommy Eichenberg
A straight-up fair deal on Tommy Eichenberg at pick No. 147, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick176
Rnd6
Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern slipping to the Round 6 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick203
Rnd6
Logan Lee
Logan Lee in pick 203 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
