Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Broncos a B-.

The tape said wait; the Broncos did not. Ty Robinson went at the Round 3 slot, a good 74 picks before the board was ready. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

However the rest shakes out, Lambert-Smith at that price is a win they earned. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it.

Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In No. 20 they get a home-run threat at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the 51st overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick85 Rnd3 Ty Robinson
A wild overpay on Ty Robinson in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jake Majors
They barely believed it either: Jake Majors still on the board at slot 122. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick191 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley in pick 191 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick197 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
A tidy bit of business in the 197th pick, where Oronde Gadsden II graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick208 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
You do not let a wide receiver like KeAndre Lambert-Smith reach pick No. 208 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
