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

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Broncos started one anyway for Tim Keenan III, 34 picks ahead of schedule. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That Hunter pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 KC Concepcion
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside. A real need, handled.
Pick63 Rnd2 Eli Stowers
No drama and no debate, Eli Stowers went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 31. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick95 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter in the 95th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick108 Rnd4 Tim Keenan III
A real head-scratcher, Tim Keenan III in pick 108 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick131 Rnd4 J.C. Davis
J.C. Davis at pick No. 131 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170 Rnd5 Lander Barton
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Lander Barton. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Rico Flores Jr.
They let Rico Flores Jr. come to them and pounced at slot 247. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick251 Rnd7 Tony Grimes
A straight-up fair deal on Tony Grimes at Round 7, Pick 35, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick255 Rnd7 Jaylon Braxton
Jaylon Braxton at pick 255 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
