Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Broncos for Giddens: B-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: DJ Giddens, the No. 165 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 193. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the 20th overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau in the 51st pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick85 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Darien Porter at pick 85 is the proof. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick121 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson in the Round 4 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick193 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
A running back of that caliber at slot 193 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick199 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
KeAndre Lambert-Smith slid further than he should have, and No. 199 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick210 Rnd6 Chimere Dike
They let Chimere Dike come to them and pounced at pick No. 210. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
