Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureC-
The Broncos let Loveland fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

The Broncos did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Colston Loveland fell into the Round 2 slot.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick46 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
Circle this one: Luther Burden III at the Round 2 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick56 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
The board fumbled Colston Loveland all the way to the 56th pick, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick122 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
No edge and no loss on Dorian Strong in Round 4, Pick 20; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick191 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
Value with a capital V on Ollie Gordon II in the 191st overall pick, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
A slide stopped in pick 197, with Jack Kiser worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. at No. 208 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
