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

Thirty-one other rooms let Cam Skattebo slide, and the Broncos were the ones holding the card at the 205th pick. Highway robbery. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with linebacker the one that mattered most. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In pick 20 they get a ballhawk on the back end. More want than need.
Pick51 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
You do not let a tight end like Colston Loveland reach the 51st overall pick and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick85 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
A running back of that caliber at Round 3, Pick 21 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick120 Rnd4 Deone Walker
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Deone Walker in pick No. 120, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jared Wilson
Circle this one: Jared Wilson at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick195 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in the 195th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick205 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
They barely believed it either: Cam Skattebo still on the board at No. 205. It fills a real need, too.
