Draft Grade — Broncos

The Broncos cashed the board's mistake on Stowers: B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Eli Stowers had no business being available in Round 3, Pick 30, and the Broncos did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Chris Brazzell II
In the 30th pick they get a difference-maker at receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Taking Caleb Banks in Round 2, Pick 30 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
They will replay Eli Stowers at pick 94 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick108 Rnd4 Darrell Jackson Jr.
A tidy bit of business in the Round 4 slot, where Darrell Jackson Jr. graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick130 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Bryce Lance at pick No. 130. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
