Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Broncos: C+.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with RJ Harvey at the Round 2 slot, a reach of 81 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. Barron at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

If Jahdae Barron and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron at pick No. 20 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick51 Rnd2 RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey at No. 51 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick85 Rnd3 Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant at Round 3, Pick 21 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick122 Rnd4 Sai'vion Jones
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Sai'vion Jones. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jeremy Crawshaw
Jeremy Crawshaw at slot 191 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick197 Rnd6 Brant Kuithe
This one needs a full-page explanation: Brant Kuithe in the 197th pick, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick208 Rnd6 CJ Dippre
A swing that ignored the value entirely, CJ Dippre well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
