Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Thor Griffith at pick No. 191 is 125 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The Thornton Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Linebacker is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In the 20th overall pick they get a matchup weapon at tight end. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Carson Schwesinger
They talked themselves into Carson Schwesinger at the Round 2 slot, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick85 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cam Skattebo. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick122 Rnd4 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at Round 4, Pick 20 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick191 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
A real head-scratcher, Thor Griffith in slot 191 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick197 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at the 197th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick208 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick No. 208 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
