Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall
C
ValueB
NeedB
TradesF
FutureB
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Broncos to a C. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jalen Travis at the Round 6 slot, a reach of 66 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C in the wash.
Bassa at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.
If Colston Loveland and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Colston Loveland
In pick 30 they get a seam-stretching tight end at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
They robbed the room for Nick Emmanwori here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick56
Rnd2
Kaleb Johnson
Value with a capital V on Kaleb Johnson in Round 2, Pick 24, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick90
Rnd3
Tez Johnson
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tez Johnson. It fills a real need, too.
Pick120
Rnd4
Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at No. 120 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick130
Rnd4
Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton in pick No. 130 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick151
Rnd5
Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in Round 5, Pick 14 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick189
Rnd6
Jeffrey Bassa
The board fumbled Jeffrey Bassa all the way to pick No. 189, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick195
Rnd6
Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway at the 195th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick202
Rnd6
Jalen Travis
A big swing on Jalen Travis at No. 202, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick205
Rnd6
Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks in the 205th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
