Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Broncos, and a B- to prove it.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Kelby Collins at slot 247 is 27 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Lane value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In the 31st pick they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick63 Rnd2 Ja'Kobi Lane
They read the board right and Ja'Kobi Lane was the payoff at pick 63. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick95 Rnd3 Jack Endries
Jack Endries at the Round 3 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick108 Rnd4 C.J. Fite
They took C.J. Fite at par in the 108th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick131 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford at pick No. 131 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
Kevin Coleman Jr. in No. 169 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick247 Rnd7 Kelby Collins
A real head-scratcher, Kelby Collins in the 247th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick251 Rnd7 Tristan Leigh
No drama and no debate, Tristan Leigh went about where he belonged in pick 251. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick256 Rnd7 Ricardo Hallman
A straight-up fair deal on Ricardo Hallman at slot 256, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
