Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB- TradesF FutureA
Larceny in the Round 7 slot lands the Broncos a D, Hunter and all.

The phones were a trap the Broncos kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.

The Stover pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at running back. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. They are betting Zinter proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and running back is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a ballhawk on the outside. Need was not the driver here.
Pick52 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at pick 52 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick67 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Payton Wilson. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
No drama and no debate, Johnny Wilson went about where he belonged in the 73rd pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick75 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They paid a round early for Sedrick Van Pran in the 75th overall pick, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at pick No. 76 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick83 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher in the 83rd pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick100 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Cade Stover adds a TE-EDGE and leaves running back untouched.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Nothing to complain about; Jaden Hicks went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick113 Rnd4 Beau Brade
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Beau Brade at safety with running back open.
Pick119 Rnd4 Javon Foster
The board had cheaper options than Javon Foster at No. 119, and it noticed. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
A reach on Luke McCaffrey in the 122nd overall pick; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at Round 5, Pick 5 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick149 Rnd5 Austin Booker
A straight-up fair deal on Austin Booker at slot 149, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick159 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui in the 159th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
They took Jared Wiley at par in No. 197, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick200 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
They liked Brevyn Spann-Ford enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 6 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick209 Rnd6 Kenny Logan Jr.
Kenny Logan Jr. at the 209th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick223 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
A conviction pick on Nathaniel Watson at pick 223 that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jontrey Hunter
Jontrey Hunter in pick No. 233 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
