Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall C
ValueF NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos landed square in the muddy middle: C.

The Kobe Hudson pick is the one that will follow the Broncos into the fall. They took him 148 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. It nets out a thoroughly average C.

The Reed pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In slot 20 they get a press-man option on the boundary, and a steal at that.
Pick51 Rnd2 Kobe Hudson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kobe Hudson well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick85 Rnd3 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse at No. 85 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jackson Hawes
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jackson Hawes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick191 Rnd6 Tommy Akingbesote
They talked themselves into Tommy Akingbesote at pick No. 191, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick197 Rnd6 Kai Kroeger
Kai Kroeger at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Somehow Jaylen Reed was still sitting there in the 208th pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
