Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesD- FutureB-
The Broncos bled value on every deal, hence the C+.

Somebody took the Broncos to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. The final tally is a middling C+.

They are betting McLaughlin proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

They left with interior defensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In No. 20 they get a wrecking ball inside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
They jumped the gun on TreVeyon Henderson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick94 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
They took Tez Johnson at par in slot 94, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick122 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong at the 122nd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick148 Rnd5 Seth McLaughlin
A real head-scratcher, Seth McLaughlin in pick 148 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jarquez Hunter
Jarquez Hunter in pick No. 191 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick192 Rnd6 CJ West
CJ West in the 192nd pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick197 Rnd6 Tyler Cooper
They paid sticker price for Tyler Cooper in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick208 Rnd6 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at slot 208 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
