Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Broncos turned the phones into found money: B+.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Broncos spent the 229th overall pick on Jalen Thompson, a name the board had a full 65 spots lower. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

Landing Pieper that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The phones were where this weekend was really won. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick61 Rnd2 Justin Scott
Justin Scott in slot 61 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick89 Rnd3 Kade Pieper
Kade Pieper at the 89th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick93 Rnd3 Bear Alexander
Bear Alexander at pick 93 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick136 Rnd4 Justin Evans
Justin Evans in Round 4, Pick 35 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick142 Rnd5 Terry Moore
Fair-plus on Terry Moore, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick144 Rnd5 Sammy Omosigho
Sammy Omosigho in No. 144 lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jayden Jackson
Jayden Jackson at the 168th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick208 Rnd6 Drayk Bowen
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Drayk Bowen at the Round 6 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jalen Thompson
Jalen Thompson in Round 7, Pick 8 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick250 Rnd7 Devon Jackson
A tidy bit of business in slot 250, where Devon Jackson graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
