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

Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Broncos never addressed quarterback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The Oke pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They will need Harris to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Job largely done: linebacker settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Chris Bell
In the 30th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value.
Pick62 Rnd2 Max Klare
Max Klare in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick108 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds at Round 4, Pick 8 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick112 Rnd4 Caden Curry
They let Caden Curry come to them and pounced at pick No. 112. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jaden Greathouse
They paid a round early for Jaden Greathouse in No. 130, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
Pick150 Rnd5 David Oke
David Oke at slot 150 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick168 Rnd5 Zane Durant
Zane Durant at the 168th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick246 Rnd7 Trey Holly
By-the-book stuff, Trey Holly at pick 246 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick251 Rnd7 Alex Harkey
They took Alex Harkey at par in the 251st pick, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick255 Rnd7 Michael Harris
Michael Harris in Round 7, Pick 39 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
