Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Broncos a B-.

There is reaching, and then there is CJ Dippre at pick No. 197. The Broncos jumped the board by 48 and dared it to prove them wrong. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up. Getting Thornton Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the 20th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value.
Pick51 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
A straight-up fair deal on Josaiah Stewart at the 51st pick, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick85 Rnd3 Joshua Farmer
They talked themselves into Joshua Farmer at pick 85, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jamaree Caldwell
By-the-book stuff, Jamaree Caldwell at slot 122 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick191 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
The board had Dont'e Thornton Jr. higher than pick No. 191, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick197 Rnd6 CJ Dippre
They reached a country mile for CJ Dippre at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. in Round 6, Pick 32 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor itch, scratched.
