Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall C-
ValueA- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Larceny in pick 190 lands the Broncos a C-, Paul Jr. and all.

You could see the war room lean forward. Chris Paul Jr. at the 190th overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick No. 20 they get a rangy last line of defense. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Value with a capital V on Jihaad Campbell in slot 51, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick84 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Colston Loveland in pick 84, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
The board fumbled Dylan Sampson all the way to Round 3, Pick 23, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick123 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
Taking Deontae Lawson in the 123rd pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick190 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
They will replay Chris Paul Jr. at the 190th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick195 Rnd6 Robert Spears-Jennings
Circle this one: Robert Spears-Jennings at No. 195 is a fall that decides a draft. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick205 Rnd6 Samuel Brown
By-the-book stuff, Samuel Brown at the 205th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
