Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall C+
ValueF NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Broncos: C+.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Broncos reached some 202 spots for Jordan James, and value like that does not grow back. The final tally is a middling C+.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September. A fair-value weekend of trading, no edge to be found.

So much rides on Jordan Burch that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick48 Rnd2 Jordan Burch
Good price on Jordan Burch in Round 2, Pick 16, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick53 Rnd2 Evan Stewart
A wild overpay on Evan Stewart in pick No. 53, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick79 Rnd3 Derrick Harmon
They talked themselves into Derrick Harmon at slot 79, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jordan James
Jordan James at the 84th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick102 Rnd4 Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell at the 102nd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick115 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in pick 115 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jeffrey Bassa in the 120th pick, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick194 Rnd6 Terrance Ferguson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Terrance Ferguson this early at the 194th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Jimmy Horn Jr. at slot 232, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick237 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Shilo Sanders. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
