Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Broncos and Horton: B+.

The board owed the Broncos one, and it paid up: Tory Horton, the No. 113 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 6 slot like a gift left on the doorstep.

The cost of the Pegues reach is exactly the players who went right after him. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick56 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Harold Fannin Jr. in the Round 2 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick85 Rnd3 Devin Neal
By-the-book stuff, Devin Neal at pick No. 85 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jordan Phillips at Round 4, Pick 20. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick127 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in No. 127 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick136 Rnd4 JJ Pegues
They reached a country mile for JJ Pegues at slot 136, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick193 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West in pick 193 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick199 Rnd6 Karene Reid
Nice patience on Karene Reid, who had no business lasting to the 199th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick210 Rnd6 Tory Horton
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tory Horton in the 210th pick, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
