Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Broncos won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Trajan Jeffcoat at the Round 6 slot, a reach of 101 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Washington steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at pick No. 34 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The roster fit checks out.
Pick49 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in pick 49 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Nothing to complain about; Kiran Amegadjie went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76 Rnd3 Cade Stover
A straight-up fair deal on Cade Stover at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Braelon Allen. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick95 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at slot 95 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick101 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
They took Leonard Taylor III at par in Round 4, Pick 3, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cam Hart at the 113th pick. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick121 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in pick No. 121 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick136 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
By-the-book stuff, Ainias Smith at slot 136 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick145 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones slipping to No. 145 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Fair-plus on Tommy Eichenberg, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick203 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington slid further than he should have, and pick 203 is lovely value for the wide receiver. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick207 Rnd6 Trajan Jeffcoat
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trajan Jeffcoat in pick 207, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
