Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos let Rourke fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

When a board-topper like Kurtis Rourke slides to No. 193, you do not overthink it, and the Broncos did not. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want. They left with tight end solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In pick No. 20 they get a difference-maker at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
They read the board right and Kaleb Johnson was the payoff at Round 2, Pick 19. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick85 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
They did well to land Mason Taylor in pick 85, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick121 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Lathan Ransom in the 121st overall pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick193 Rnd6 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke in No. 193 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick199 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
They let Cobee Bryant come to them and pounced at the Round 6 slot. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Taking Jaylen Reed in the 210th pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
