Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos cashed the board's mistake on Klare: B.

The board owed the Broncos one, and it paid up: Max Klare, the No. 77 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 108 like a gift left on the doorstep. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Chris Brazzell II
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick62 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks in the 62nd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick94 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
A tidy bit of business in slot 94, where Domonique Orange graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick108 Rnd4 Max Klare
A tight end of that caliber at pick No. 108 is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick130 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. in the 130th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick170 Rnd5 Chase Roberts
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Chase Roberts at pick 170. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick246 Rnd7 Antonio Kite
Nice patience on Antonio Kite, who had no business lasting to No. 246. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick256 Rnd7 Bryce Foster
They took Bryce Foster at par in Round 7, Pick 40, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick257 Rnd7 Alan Herron
By-the-book stuff, Alan Herron at the 257th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
