Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in slot 94: the Broncos steal York and grade out a B-.

Call it larceny. Taurean York sat on the board until Round 3, Pick 30, and the Broncos did not need to be asked twice.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Greathouse pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Chris Brazzell II
In the 30th pick they get a No. 1 receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Eli Stowers
They paid sticker price for Eli Stowers in Round 2, Pick 30, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick94 Rnd3 Taurean York
Circle this one: Taurean York at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick108 Rnd4 Derrick Moore
Nice patience on Derrick Moore, who had no business lasting to pick No. 108. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jaden Greathouse
Jaden Greathouse at No. 130 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick168 Rnd5 Brenen Thompson
A quiet steal in slot 168: Brenen Thompson for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
