Grand theft in the 121st pick: the Broncos steal Newton and grade out a B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Josh Newton tumbling to the Broncos in pick 121 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

With linebacker, interior defensive lineman and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them. Reaching for Pratt left real value on the table behind him.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up. Quarterback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In the 12th overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary, even if it was a touch early.
Pick76 Rnd3 Michael Pratt
A big swing on Michael Pratt at the 76th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
Somehow Jalen McMillan was still sitting there in No. 113, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick121 Rnd4 Josh Newton
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Josh Newton at cornerback with linebacker, interior defensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick149 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha slipping to pick 149 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jalen Berger
They robbed the room for Jalen Berger here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick240 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
Steal is underselling it; Sheridan Jones at slot 240 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
