Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Broncos.

The war room fell hard for Tim Keenan III, and it showed at pick 108: 31 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Velling falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In the Round 1 slot they get a security blanket over the middle, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Antonio Williams
Antonio Williams slipping to pick 63 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez in the 95th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick108 Rnd4 Tim Keenan III
Tim Keenan III at No. 108 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Skyler Gill-Howard
No drama and no debate, Skyler Gill-Howard went about where he belonged in slot 131. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick170 Rnd5 Aaron Anderson
Aaron Anderson slid further than he should have, and pick No. 170 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick247 Rnd7 Ethan O'Connor
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ethan O'Connor at the Round 7 slot is the proof. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick251 Rnd7 Jack Velling
Jack Velling at pick No. 251 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick255 Rnd7 Ethan Onianwa
Ethan Onianwa at slot 255 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
