Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Broncos.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Simeon Barrow Jr. at the 191st overall pick, a reach of 27 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. The Johnson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the 20th overall pick they get an anchor for the defensive front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
They did well to land Kaleb Johnson in No. 51, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick85 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Elijah Arroyo at the 85th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at Round 4, Pick 20 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick191 Rnd6 Simeon Barrow Jr.
Value said wait; Simeon Barrow Jr. in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick199 Rnd6 Alijah Huzzie
A reach on Alijah Huzzie in pick 199; the board had better options right there. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick207 Rnd6 Woody Marks
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Woody Marks in slot 207. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick208 Rnd6 R.J. Mickens
No edge and no loss on R.J. Mickens in pick No. 208; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick256 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
LaJohntay Wester in pick 256 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
