Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureC+
The Broncos lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

The Broncos bet big and early on Braelon Allen, 31 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. The process wobbled, and the D- is where it lands.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In No. 8 they get a No. 1 receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick43 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
They paid a round early for T'Vondre Sweat in pick No. 43, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick74 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at the 74th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76 Rnd3 Michael Pratt
Value said wait; Michael Pratt in the Round 3 slot says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick113 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Good price on Matt Goncalves in Round 4, Pick 13, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick121 Rnd4 Cam Hart
They jumped the gun on Cam Hart, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick124 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at slot 124 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at pick No. 149 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick189 Rnd6 Josh Proctor
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Josh Proctor. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick233 Rnd7 Chad Lindberg
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Chad Lindberg. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick240 Rnd7 Zion Logue
Zion Logue at the Round 7 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick245 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at Round 7, Pick 25 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
