Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Broncos, and a B- to prove it.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Broncos did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to linebacker, which was the need that mattered most. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They are betting Barrow Jr. proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The Pegues steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
They took Luther Burden III at par in No. 20, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick51 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Trey Amos in slot 51 is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick85 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
They let Mason Taylor come to them and pounced at the 85th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick122 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Anthony Belton at pick 122 is the proof. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick191 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in Round 6, Pick 15 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick197 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues slipping to pick No. 197 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick208 Rnd6 Simeon Barrow Jr.
Simeon Barrow Jr. at the Round 6 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
