Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Broncos: B-.

Some picks age like wine; Aaron Graves at slot 130 will need to, sitting 33 spots clear of his grade. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The Moore pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In Round 1, Pick 30 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick62 Rnd2 Germie Bernard
No edge and no loss on Germie Bernard in pick No. 62; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick94 Rnd3 Taurean York
Taurean York at No. 94 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jack Endries
A straight-up fair deal on Jack Endries at slot 108, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick130 Rnd4 Aaron Graves
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Aaron Graves well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Louis Moore
Louis Moore slid further than he should have, and the 168th overall pick is lovely value for the safety. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick246 Rnd7 Kendrick Law
No drama and no debate, Kendrick Law went about where he belonged in pick 246. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick251 Rnd7 Alan Herron
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Alan Herron. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick255 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
Bryce Foster in slot 255 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
