Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos did enough to get by: C+.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Cam Skattebo; the Broncos did not wait, grabbing him 60 spots ahead at No. 51. It lands right in the middle: a C+, no more, no less.

They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Interior defensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tyler Booker
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Cam Skattebo
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cam Skattebo in pick No. 51, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick85 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Good price on Mason Taylor in pick 85, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick122 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
They paid a round early for Mello Dotson in the 122nd pick, more than the board wanted. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick191 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
A tidy little value on JJ Pegues in the 191st overall pick, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick197 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at slot 197 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jeremy Crawshaw
Jeremy Crawshaw in the 208th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
