Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB+ 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.
