Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Starks should have been long gone. The Broncos pounced, and earned a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Malaki Starks, the No. 26 name on the board, stolen at slot 51. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with tight end the one that mattered most.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
Tetairoa McMillan in Round 1, Pick 20 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster fit checks out.
Pick51 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
You do not let a safety like Malaki Starks reach pick No. 51 and blink. They did not. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick85 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in the 85th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick191 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders slid further than he should have, and slot 191 is lovely value for the running back. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Taking Jack Nelson in pick 197 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick208 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in the 208th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
