Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA FutureA
No fireworks, just a tidy B+ for the Broncos.

Hard to follow the map here. The Broncos bypassed interior defensive lineman and tight end to take Khyree Jackson at the 108th pick, a spot they had covered. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. That Jackson pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick 23 they get a double-digit-sack hope. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick76 Rnd3 Max Melton
By-the-book stuff, Max Melton at the 76th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick108 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A want over a need in Round 4, Pick 8: Khyree Jackson adds a cornerback while interior defensive lineman and tight end keeps waiting.
Pick121 Rnd4 Javon Foster
No edge and no loss on Javon Foster in slot 121; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick136 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
The board had cheaper options than Luke McCaffrey at the Round 4 slot, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick145 Rnd5 Michael Pratt
A clean, defensible pick in the 145th overall pick with a little surplus value in Michael Pratt. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick147 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mason McCormick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick203 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
Kendall Milton in No. 203 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick207 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs slipping to pick No. 207 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
