Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Broncos for McConkey: B.

The Broncos spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Ladd McConkey, the No. 33 name on the board, in the 76th overall pick. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They will need Logue to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In slot 12 they get a blindside protector, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 Ladd McConkey
Taking Ladd McConkey in Round 3, Pick 12 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
Pick114 Rnd4 Josh Newton
Josh Newton in pick No. 114 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
No edge and no loss on Tommy Eichenberg in pick 122; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick146 Rnd5 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop slid further than he should have, and the 146th pick is lovely value for the safety. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick230 Rnd7 Zion Logue
A real head-scratcher, Zion Logue in the 230th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick237 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
They let Taulia Tagovailoa come to them and pounced at No. 237. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
