Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos let Majors fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Broncos watched Jake Majors slide 86 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 20th pick they get a lead back with juice, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
A tight end of that caliber at the 51st overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick85 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
The board fumbled Xavier Watts all the way to pick 85, and they scooped it up. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick121 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at the Round 4 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jake Majors
Jake Majors in No. 193 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick199 Rnd6 Brashard Smith
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Brashard Smith in pick No. 199, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick210 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
They will replay Oronde Gadsden II at slot 210 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
