Draft Grade — Broncos

Larceny in No. 190 lands the Broncos a B, Barron and all.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jahdae Barron got past him. The Broncos do not have to explain a thing at No. 190. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a workhorse for the backfield, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
They barely believed it either: Walter Nolen still on the board at pick 51. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. at the 87th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123 Rnd4 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in slot 123 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron at No. 190 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick195 Rnd6 Dylan Fairchild
They robbed the room for Dylan Fairchild here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick205 Rnd6 Deontae Lawson
The board fumbled Deontae Lawson all the way to the 205th overall pick, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
