Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Broncos did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Some picks age like wine; Ben Sinnott at the 83rd pick will need to, sitting 47 spots clear of his grade. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They banked enough surplus on Jackson to cover a lot of smaller sins. The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes.

They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In No. 30 they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick66 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kiran Amegadjie. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick76 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
A quiet steal in slot 76: Christian Haynes for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick83 Rnd3 Ben Sinnott
A real head-scratcher, Ben Sinnott in the 83rd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick93 Rnd3 MarShawn Lloyd
No edge and no loss on MarShawn Lloyd in pick 93; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick104 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
A straight-up fair deal on Leonard Taylor III at the 104th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick121 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Khyree Jackson in pick No. 121, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick136 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
They took Ainias Smith at par in the 136th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick145 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
A premium they did not need to pay, Brennan Jackson a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at Round 5, Pick 11 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Pick186 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
They will replay Dwight McGlothern at the 186th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick203 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at the Round 6 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
No drama and no debate, Jared Wiley went about where he belonged in pick 207. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
