Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureD+
The Broncos won the night they stopped Hurst from sliding. Grade: C+.

The Broncos did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Ted Hurst fell into pick No. 130.

They are betting Davis proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Job largely done: linebacker settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick43 Rnd2 Jacob Rodriguez
Jacob Rodriguez at pick No. 43 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick62 Rnd2 Eli Stowers
A reasonable price with a little left over, Eli Stowers in the Round 2 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jonah Coleman
Jonah Coleman at the 75th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick94 Rnd3 Bud Clark
A reach for Bud Clark in Round 3, Pick 30; a little patience would have been rewarded. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick108 Rnd4 J.C. Davis
They reached a country mile for J.C. Davis at the 108th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick111 Rnd4 Darrell Jackson Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in pick 111 with a little surplus value in Darrell Jackson Jr.. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick130 Rnd4 Ted Hurst
Ted Hurst in slot 130 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
