Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA-
The phones sank the Broncos this weekend: D.

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. Hard to defend, and the D reflects that.

The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They will need McCaffrey to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, linebacker very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
A clean, defensible pick in the 49th overall pick with a little surplus value in J.J. McCarthy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Legette. The roster fit checks out.
Pick145 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in the 145th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick147 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Value said wait; Luke McCaffrey in slot 147 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
