Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in slot 193 lands the Broncos a B, Ward and all.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Cam Ward, the No. 7 name on the board, stolen at the 193rd overall pick. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

With edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Job largely done: linebacker settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In slot 20 they get a lockdown presence outside, outstanding value to boot.
Pick51 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty in the 51st overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick85 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in the Round 3 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jahdae Barron
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Jahdae Barron at cornerback with edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots open.
Pick193 Rnd6 Cam Ward
Cam Ward at pick No. 193 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jihaad Campbell
You do not let a linebacker like Jihaad Campbell reach pick 199 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick210 Rnd6 T.J. Sanders
They barely believed it either: T.J. Sanders still on the board at Round 6, Pick 32. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
