Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos let Williams fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

Call it larceny. Nohl Williams sat on the board until Round 6, Pick 32, and the Broncos did not need to be asked twice. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They will need Jackson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it.

They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 20th overall pick they get a matchup weapon at tight end. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on TreVeyon Henderson. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at slot 85 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick122 Rnd4 Vernon Broughton
They paid up for Vernon Broughton at pick 122 when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick191 Rnd6 Alex Mastromanno
Alex Mastromanno at Round 6, Pick 15 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick197 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
They reached into another round for Cam Jackson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick208 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at pick No. 208 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
