Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Broncos lost the trade table, and the D tells the story.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Broncos did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want. Pratt has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick55 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
They took Zach Frazier at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro in pick 67 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in the 76th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
Michael Pratt in Round 4, Pick 21 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick136 Rnd4 Beau Brade
No drama and no debate, Beau Brade went about where he belonged in pick No. 136. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
They let Jaylin Simpson come to them and pounced at No. 147. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick174 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kamal Hadden in slot 174. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick203 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
Kendall Milton at the 203rd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
