Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Broncos, and a B- to prove it.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Broncos took Brant Kuithe a full 40 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Harvey. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Linebacker is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Josh Conerly Jr.
In slot 20 they get protection for the quarterback, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
A quiet steal in the 51st pick: Jaxson Dart for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick85 Rnd3 Xavier Restrepo
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick No. 85 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick122 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in pick 122 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick191 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
A top-tier running back at a bargain, RJ Harvey in the 191st overall pick, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick197 Rnd6 Brant Kuithe
A big swing on Brant Kuithe at Round 6, Pick 21, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser is a better player than slot 208 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
