Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Broncos: B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: DeMonte Capehart in pick No. 102, a good 51 spots before the room expected him.

The Carter Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In pick 20 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick51 Rnd2 Connor Lew
They did well to land Connor Lew in the 51st overall pick, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick88 Rnd3 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. in No. 88 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick102 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at the 102nd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick123 Rnd4 DJ McKinney
They paid sticker price for DJ McKinney in slot 123, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick163 Rnd5 Terrance Carter Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Terrance Carter Jr. at Round 5, Pick 22 is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick237 Rnd7 Malik Hartford
Malik Hartford at Round 7, Pick 20 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick253 Rnd7 A'Marion Peterson
A'Marion Peterson at pick 253 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
