FutureB-
The Broncos checked most of the boxes and earned a B. The one they had to fix is still broken. The Broncos left interior defensive lineman untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. The bottom line is a respectable B.
The White pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.
They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Omarion Hampton
In No. 12 they get a bell-cow for the offense. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58
Rnd2
Preston Stone
A conviction pick on Preston Stone at pick No. 58 that the board grades a round light. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76
Rnd3
Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford in pick 76 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick90
Rnd3
Ricky White
Ricky White in the 90th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick108
Rnd4
Dylan Fairchild
No drama and no debate, Dylan Fairchild went about where he belonged in slot 108. It fills a real need, too.
Pick160
Rnd5
Tyrone Howell
Tyrone Howell at the Round 5 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick172
Rnd6
Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander at the 172nd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick193
Rnd7
Rivaldo Fairweather
No edge and no loss on Rivaldo Fairweather in Round 7, Pick 1; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick224
Rnd7
Nick Jackson
Nick Jackson in pick 224 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
