Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureD+
The Broncos robbed the room for Caldwell. Final grade: B.

The Broncos spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jeff Caldwell, the No. 193 name on the board, in the 227th pick. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The Heidenreich reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez in Round 2, Pick 20 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick62 Rnd2 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy at slot 62 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick75 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers in the 75th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jake Golday
Jake Golday at pick 84 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick103 Rnd4 Jonah Coleman
Nice patience on Jonah Coleman, who had no business lasting to the Round 4 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick108 Rnd4 Darrell Jackson Jr.
Darrell Jackson Jr. at the 108th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jalen Farmer
No edge and no loss on Jalen Farmer in pick No. 111; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick170 Rnd5 Ephesians Prysock
A wild overpay on Ephesians Prysock in No. 170, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick179 Rnd5 Cole Payton
Cole Payton in the 179th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Jeff Caldwell in Round 7, Pick 11 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick228 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Eli Heidenreich well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
