Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Broncos spent pick 208 on Jacory Merritt, a name the board had a full 58 spots lower. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Johnson steal is the beam this whole class leans on. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In slot 20 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
No drama and no debate, Harold Fannin Jr. went about where he belonged in pick 51. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick85 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
The board fumbled Quinshon Judkins all the way to the 85th pick, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Taking Tez Johnson in Round 4, Pick 20 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick196 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick197 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Good price on Luke Lachey in the 197th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jacory Merritt
Jacory Merritt at the 208th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick244 Rnd7 Francisco Mauigoa
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Francisco Mauigoa. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
