Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureA
The Broncos let Gadsden II fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Oronde Gadsden II had no business being available in No. 208, and the Broncos did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In No. 20 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
A tidy little value on Aireontae Ersery in slot 51, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at pick 122 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
The board had Jack Kiser higher than the 191st overall pick, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick204 Rnd6 Upton Stout
Upton Stout in Round 6, Pick 28 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick208 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at pick No. 208 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
