Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall F
ValueC- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Broughton reach set the tone, and the Broncos never recovered: F.

The Broncos treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 124th overall pick on Vernon Broughton a full 62 spots early.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left edge rusher open, and the grade is the bill.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Omarion Hampton
In pick No. 20 they get a three-down runner, even if it was a touch early.
Pick51 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They reached into another round for Tate Ratledge, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick85 Rnd3 Terrance Ferguson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Terrance Ferguson well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
A tidy little value on Chris Paul Jr. in slot 87, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick109 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at No. 109 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jake Majors
A reach for Jake Majors in the 122nd pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick124 Rnd4 Vernon Broughton
This one needs a full-page explanation: Vernon Broughton in the 124th pick, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick191 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks in No. 191 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick197 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
They reached a country mile for Cam Jackson at the 197th overall pick, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
