Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesD+ FutureA
The Broncos robbed the room for Schwesinger. Final grade: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Broncos were there to profit. Carson Schwesinger, the No. 69 name on the board, should have been long gone before Round 3, Pick 25. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Every board in the league had Riley lower, and that gap is the story. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick58 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
A reasonable price with a little left over, TreVeyon Henderson in the Round 2 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in the 59th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick85 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Elijah Arroyo at the 85th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick89 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
Somehow Carson Schwesinger was still sitting there in pick No. 89, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick91 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ozzy Trapilo at pick 91 is the proof. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in No. 122 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick166 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley in slot 166 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick191 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They let Dont'e Thornton Jr. come to them and pounced at Round 6, Pick 15. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick197 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
They liked Nazir Stackhouse enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 6, Pick 21. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick208 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in pick No. 208 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
