Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Broncos: B-.

The Broncos spent real capital to be 53 picks early on Tez Johnson, and the board is going to hold them to it.

The Harris pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
They did well to land Emeka Egbuka in Round 1, Pick 15, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick80 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland is a better player than the 80th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick116 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
They reached a country mile for Tez Johnson at pick No. 116, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick191 Rnd6 Aydan White
They talked themselves into Aydan White at slot 191, and the board did not agree. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris at No. 192 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
