Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos cashed the board's mistake on Smith: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Brashard Smith had no business being available in Round 6, Pick 14, and the Broncos did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In No. 20 they get a rangy last line of defense. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren slipping to pick 51 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick85 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
They robbed the room for TreVeyon Henderson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick120 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at pick No. 120 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick189 Rnd6 Brashard Smith
Circle this one: Brashard Smith at the 189th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick195 Rnd6 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger at Round 6, Pick 20 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick205 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 6 slot with a little surplus value in Seth McLaughlin. It fills a real need, too.
