Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Broncos and Harris: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Tre Harris got past him. The Broncos do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 234. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it. The Lachey pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The Smith pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at linebacker, interior defensive lineman and other spots.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Xavier Worthy
In the 25th pick they get a matchup problem out wide. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
A clean, defensible pick in the 57th overall pick with a little surplus value in Cooper DeJean. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick80 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Maason Smith at DT-EDGE with linebacker, interior defensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick116 Rnd4 Christian Haynes
A offensive lineman of that caliber at slot 116 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick125 Rnd4 Luke Lachey
This one needs a full-page explanation: Luke Lachey in pick No. 125, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick160 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
A tidy bit of business in No. 160, where Malachi Moore graded well above the range. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick214 Rnd6 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader in pick 214 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
Pick234 Rnd7 Tre Harris
Steal is underselling it; Tre Harris at Round 7, Pick 14 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick237 Rnd7 Michael Trigg
The board had cheaper options than Michael Trigg at Round 7, Pick 17, and it noticed. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
