Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesC- FutureB+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Broncos and Loveland: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Colston Loveland at slot 85 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. 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 trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 29th pick they get a No. 1 receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Steal is underselling it; Kenneth Grant at the 51st overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick85 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
A tight end of that caliber at pick 85 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick120 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Circle this one: Barrett Carter at No. 120 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
