Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 192nd overall pick: the Broncos steal Singleton and grade out a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Broncos watched Nicholas Singleton slide 86 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get juice off the edge, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick53 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in pick 53 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick84 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
They barely believed it either: Tyler Warren still on the board at pick No. 84. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick122 Rnd4 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland at the 122nd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick192 Rnd6 Nicholas Singleton
You do not let a running back like Nicholas Singleton reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick197 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
They will replay Smael Mondon Jr. at No. 197 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick206 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Ollie Gordon II in slot 206, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
