Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B+
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Broncos a B+.

The Broncos looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Javon Baker at the Round 4 slot regardless, 72 picks early.

They banked enough surplus on Still to cover a lot of smaller sins. The phones were where this weekend was really won. The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick71 Rnd3 Spencer Rattler
Value said wait; Spencer Rattler in pick 71 says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley in the 76th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick90 Rnd3 Darius Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Darius Robinson. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick114 Rnd4 Javon Baker
Javon Baker at No. 114 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick122 Rnd4 Max Melton
A tidy bit of business in the 122nd pick, where Max Melton graded well above the range. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at the 146th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick149 Rnd5 Andrew Raym
They left a pile of value on the table to take Andrew Raym this early at pick 149. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
They reached a country mile for Jared Wiley at the 188th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick230 Rnd7 Tarheeb Still
They will replay Tarheeb Still at slot 230 for years; that is how good the value is. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
