The Broncos worked the phones like thieves and earned a B. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Broncos took Zion Logue a full 79 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Bo Nix
Fair-plus on Bo Nix, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick52
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Keon Coleman at slot 52. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76
Rnd3
Cade Stover
A straight-up fair deal on Cade Stover at pick No. 76, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick83
Rnd3
Payton Wilson
You do not let a linebacker like Payton Wilson reach pick 83 and blink. They did not. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
They liked Khyree Jackson enough to skip the value, taking him in the 87th overall pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick89
Rnd3
Maason Smith
Maason Smith in the Round 3 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick93
Rnd3
Braelon Allen
They paid a round early for Braelon Allen in No. 93, more than the board wanted. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick101
Rnd4
Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in pick 101 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick121
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
A reasonable price with a little left over, Matt Goncalves in the 121st overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick136
Rnd4
James Williams
A quiet steal in slot 136: James Williams for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick145
Rnd5
Tommy Eichenberg
By-the-book stuff, Tommy Eichenberg at the 145th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick147
Rnd5
Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith in pick No. 147 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick176
Rnd6
Dwight McGlothern
A tidy bit of business in Round 6, Pick 1, where Dwight McGlothern graded well above the range. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick203
Rnd6
Josh Proctor
This one needs a full-page explanation: Josh Proctor in the Round 6 slot, miles early. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick207
Rnd6
Zion Logue
Zion Logue at Round 6, Pick 32 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
