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

The Broncos did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jayden Higgins fell into pick 122.

Frazier has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

Linebacker is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at slot 51 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick85 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
A tidy bit of business in No. 85, where Elijah Arroyo graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at pick 122 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Value with a capital V on Jaylen Reed in the 191st overall pick, a genuine coup. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick197 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
They reached a country mile for Miles Frazier at the 197th pick, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick208 Rnd6 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong in pick No. 208 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
