Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Broncos got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C.

The Broncos lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

They will need Jefferson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Getting Orange where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The Breece Hall deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Hit on Gennings Dunker and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick57 Rnd2 Gennings Dunker
Nothing to complain about; Gennings Dunker went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick60 Rnd2 Jacob Rodriguez
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jacob Rodriguez in the 60th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Max Klare
Max Klare at slot 68 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick79 Rnd3 Skyler Bell
They took Skyler Bell at par in pick No. 79, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick95 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
They robbed the room for Domonique Orange here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Jalon Kilgore slid further than he should have, and the Round 4 slot is lovely value for the cornerback. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick122 Rnd4 Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp at No. 122 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126 Rnd4 Genesis Smith
Somehow Genesis Smith was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 26, and they pounced on premier safety value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick129 Rnd4 Chris McClellan
Chris McClellan in the 129th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick177 Rnd5 Keagen Trost
Keagen Trost at the Round 5 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick180 Rnd5 Justin Jefferson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Justin Jefferson. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick246 Rnd7 Fa'alili Fa'amoe
A premium they did not need to pay, Fa'alili Fa'amoe a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Luke Altmyer
A reach on Luke Altmyer in the 255th pick; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick256 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
They did well to land Eli Heidenreich in pick 256, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick257 Rnd7 Adam Randall
A real head-scratcher, Adam Randall in slot 257 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
