Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Broncos torched the value chart for Thor Griffith, taking him 89 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front. A fair-value weekend of trading, no edge to be found.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In No. 20 they get a matchup weapon at tight end. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick66 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
No drama and no debate, Carson Schwesinger went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 2. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick85 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cam Skattebo this early at pick 85. It fills a real need, too.
Pick95 Rnd3 Rylie Mills
This one needs a full-page explanation: Rylie Mills in pick No. 95, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick122 Rnd4 Bhayshul Tuten
They reached a country mile for Bhayshul Tuten at the 122nd pick, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick133 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at slot 133 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at the 191st pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick197 Rnd6 Alex Mastromanno
Alex Mastromanno in pick No. 197 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick208 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Isaac TeSlaa. The roster fit checks out.
Pick226 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A big swing on Thor Griffith at the 226th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
