Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureD
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Broncos a B.

The Broncos looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Thor Griffith at pick No. 170 regardless, 92 picks early. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Carter. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick 13 they get a workhorse for the backfield at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Tez Johnson
They reached a country mile for Tez Johnson at the Round 2 slot, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick87 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at No. 87 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick123 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in slot 123 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170 Rnd5 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at pick No. 170 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick199 Rnd6 Will Howard
Will Howard at Round 6, Pick 24 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick200 Rnd6 Will Sheppard
Will Sheppard in the 200th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick228 Rnd7 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at slot 228 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
