Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesC FutureA+
The Broncos let Torrence fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Ro Torrence had no business being available in Round 6, Pick 28, and the Broncos did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. Gore Jr. has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

The Jordyn Brooks pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick76 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Nothing to complain about; Jaden Hicks went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick136 Rnd4 Josh Newton
Nice patience on Josh Newton, who had no business lasting to slot 136. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick145 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
No drama and no debate, Luke McCaffrey went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 9. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick147 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
By-the-book stuff, Tommy Eichenberg at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick203 Rnd6 Ro Torrence
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Ro Torrence in No. 203, plain and simple. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick207 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Frank Gore Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
