The trade table was where it all came apart. The Broncos shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The Broncos indulged a want in Smith while a need in interior defensive lineman and edge rusher stayed open. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. That Oladapo pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

The McCaffrey pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
