Draft Grade — Broncos

FutureB-
The Broncos worked the phones like thieves and earned a B. You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Broncos did exactly that with AJ Barner in slot 121. No fireworks, but a solid B.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. On value alone, Washington makes the weekend a net positive.
They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick41
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
Nothing to complain about; Jordan Morgan went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick52
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
A reasonable price with a little left over, Edgerrin Cooper in pick No. 52. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick73
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at pick 73 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76
Rnd3
Devontez Walker
Fair-plus on Devontez Walker, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick83
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at the 83rd pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick84
Rnd3
Brandon Dorlus
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 3 slot with a little surplus value in Brandon Dorlus. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87
Rnd3
Maason Smith
They talked themselves into Maason Smith at pick 87, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick90
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in the Round 3 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick93
Rnd3
Cam Hart
They took Cam Hart at par in the 93rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick95
Rnd3
Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving in pick No. 95 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick101
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zak Zinter. The roster fit checks out.
Pick120
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in Round 4, Pick 20 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick121
Rnd4
AJ Barner
This one needs a full-page explanation: AJ Barner in No. 121, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick136
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
They read the board right and Johnny Wilson was the payoff at the 136th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick145
Rnd5
Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at the 145th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick147
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at pick 147 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick172
Rnd5
Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern slid further than he should have, and No. 172 is lovely value for the cornerback. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick178
Rnd6
Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson at the Round 6 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick203
Rnd6
Jared Wiley
A straight-up fair deal on Jared Wiley at pick No. 203, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick207
Rnd6
Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington at the 207th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
