Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos let Hill fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Tommi Hill had no business being available in the 191st overall pick, and the Broncos did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

Every board in the league had Peebles lower, and that gap is the story. A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want.

Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
They paid sticker price for Walter Nolen in No. 20, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jalen Royals
A reach on Jalen Royals in Round 2, Pick 19; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick85 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
A quiet steal in pick 85: Elijah Arroyo for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick122 Rnd4 Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles at the 122nd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick191 Rnd6 Tommi Hill
You do not let a cornerback like Tommi Hill reach the 191st overall pick and blink. They did not. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick197 Rnd6 Drew Kendall
Nothing to complain about; Drew Kendall went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick208 Rnd6 Antwane Wells Jr.
A tidy bit of business in the Round 6 slot, where Antwane Wells Jr. graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
