Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Broncos let Paul Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The board owed the Broncos one, and it paid up: Chris Paul Jr., the No. 116 name on the board, sitting there at the 190th pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

McCoy has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In slot 24 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
A safety of that caliber at No. 51 is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick87 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Circle this one: Kaleb Johnson at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick88 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
They will replay TreVeyon Henderson at pick No. 88 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick123 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
They barely believed it either: Mason Taylor still on the board at the 123rd pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick125 Rnd4 Rylie Mills
A premium they did not need to pay, Rylie Mills a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick190 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Chris Paul Jr. in Round 6, Pick 15, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick205 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at pick 205 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick226 Rnd7 Davison Igbinosun
Nothing to complain about; Davison Igbinosun went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick230 Rnd7 Bru McCoy
Bru McCoy at the 230th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
