Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos let Milum fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The Broncos did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Wyatt Milum fell into pick 250. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The Broncos indulged a want in Barron while a need in linebacker and quarterback stayed open. For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. Interior defensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the 20th pick they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
Steal is underselling it; Ashton Jeanty at the 51st overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jahdae Barron
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Jahdae Barron at cornerback with linebacker and quarterback open.
Pick121 Rnd4 Colston Loveland
They will replay Colston Loveland at slot 121 for years; that is how good the value is. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick199 Rnd6 Armand Membou
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Armand Membou in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick207 Rnd6 Josaiah Stewart
They robbed the room for Josaiah Stewart here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jack Bech
Jack Bech at Round 6, Pick 32 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick238 Rnd7 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders at pick No. 238 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick250 Rnd7 Wyatt Milum
The board fumbled Wyatt Milum all the way to Round 7, Pick 32, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
