Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Broncos.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Tommy Mellott in pick No. 190, a good 148 spots before the room expected him. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Smith. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In slot 20 they get a No. 1 receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
You do not let a linebacker like Jalon Walker reach the 62nd overall pick and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick87 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson in pick No. 87 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick94 Rnd3 Jake Majors
No edge and no loss on Jake Majors in the 94th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick133 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
They barely believed it either: Deontae Lawson still on the board at the Round 4 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick159 Rnd5 Mason Taylor
They will replay Mason Taylor at pick 159 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick161 Rnd5 Devin Neal
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Devin Neal in No. 161, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick190 Rnd6 Tommy Mellott
Tommy Mellott at Round 6, Pick 15 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick195 Rnd6 Brashard Smith
They robbed the room for Brashard Smith here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick205 Rnd6 Kobe King
Kobe King at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick250 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
A tidy little value on Shilo Sanders in the 250th pick, a step better than break-even. It adds depth where they could use a little.
