Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Broncos and Trapilo: B+.

The board owed the Broncos one, and it paid up: Ozzy Trapilo, the No. 89 name on the board, sitting there at No. 121 like a gift left on the doorstep. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori is a better player than slot 36 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick76 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
They paid sticker price for Omarr Norman-Lott in the 76th pick, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick94 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
A conviction pick on Cam Skattebo at No. 94 that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
Pick106 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
A tidy bit of business in the Round 4 slot, where Denzel Burke graded well above the range. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick121 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in pick No. 121 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
They let Jay Higgins come to them and pounced at the 193rd overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick199 Rnd6 Antwane Wells Jr.
Value with a capital V on Antwane Wells Jr. in pick 199, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick210 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
A tight end of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 32 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
