Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureB
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Broncos.

The Broncos put a flag in the ground for Dominique Hampton, 31 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

They banked enough surplus on Jacobs to cover a lot of smaller sins. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
Fair-plus on J.J. McCarthy, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick52 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell is a better player than slot 52 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at the Round 3 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Cade Stover in pick 76 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at the 87th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick93 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
Nothing to complain about; Bucky Irving went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick101 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
They went early on Leonard Taylor III in No. 101, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick121 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at the 121st pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick136 Rnd4 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan in the 136th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick145 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
No edge and no loss on Tommy Eichenberg in slot 145; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
Good price on Ainias Smith in pick 147, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick155 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
A reasonable price with a little left over, Luke McCaffrey in pick No. 155. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick203 Rnd6 Dominique Hampton
They reached a country mile for Dominique Hampton at Round 6, Pick 28, and the board is aghast. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick207 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
They read the board right and Curtis Jacobs was the payoff at the Round 6 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
