Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos cashed the board's mistake on Winston Jr.: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Broncos were there to profit. Kevin Winston Jr., the No. 92 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick 196. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In pick No. 20 they get a home-run threat at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Taking Derrick Harmon in pick 51 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick85 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
A tidy bit of business in the Round 3 slot, where Gunnar Helm graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick121 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at No. 121 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick187 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at slot 187 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick196 Rnd6 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in the 196th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jeffrey Bassa
Steal is underselling it; Jeffrey Bassa at the 203rd pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
