Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureC+
The Broncos got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-.

The Broncos lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. Linebacker is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get juice off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick18 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the 18th pick they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick121 Rnd4 Chau Smith-Wade
Chau Smith-Wade at slot 121 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick136 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith in the 136th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick145 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
They paid sticker price for Mason McCormick in pick 145, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
A straight-up fair deal on Jaylan Ford at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
No drama and no debate, Jared Wiley went about where he belonged in pick No. 207. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
