FutureA-
The Broncos got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C. Somebody in No. 100 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Broncos sat still while A.J. Haulcy, the No. 50 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C.
Reaching for Zvada left real value on the table behind him. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.
It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.
Pick Analysis
Pick62
Rnd2
Jacob Rodriguez
They let Jacob Rodriguez come to them and pounced at pick 62. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick79
Rnd3
Max Klare
Max Klare at the 79th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87
Rnd3
Keylan Rutledge
The board had Keylan Rutledge higher than the 87th pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick94
Rnd3
Skyler Bell
Skyler Bell slid further than he should have, and pick 94 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick100
Rnd3
A.J. Haulcy
A safety of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick111
Rnd4
Emmett Johnson
Nothing to complain about; Emmett Johnson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick127
Rnd4
Oscar Delp
They took Oscar Delp at par in No. 127, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick147
Rnd5
Chris McClellan
Chris McClellan in the 147th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick180
Rnd5
Keagen Trost
Keagen Trost in pick No. 180 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick222
Rnd7
Thaddeus Dixon
No edge and no loss on Thaddeus Dixon in Round 7, Pick 6; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick256
Rnd7
Luke Altmyer
Luke Altmyer in pick 256 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick257
Rnd7
Dominic Zvada
Dominic Zvada at the 257th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
