The Broncos lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.

The cost of the Randall reach is exactly the players who went right after him. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Landing Bell that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.18 · Pick 50 · Dillon Thieneman · S · rank 27
Dillon Thieneman in pick No. 50 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R2.30 · Pick 62 · Gennings Dunker · OG · rank 52
A quiet steal in Round 2, Pick 30: Gennings Dunker for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Eli Stowers · TE · rank 56
Taking Eli Stowers in pick 78 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.16 · Pick 116 · Skyler Bell · WR · rank 85
Circle this one: Skyler Bell at the 116th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.32 · Pick 132 · Oscar Delp · TE · rank 133
They took Oscar Delp at par in No. 132, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.10 · Pick 150 · Chris McClellan · DT · rank 143
Chris McClellan at the Round 5 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.18 · Pick 158 · Kaytron Allen · RB · rank 148
Nice patience on Kaytron Allen, who had no business lasting to the 158th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.30 · Pick 170 · Travis Burke · OT · rank 173
No edge and no loss on Travis Burke in pick No. 170; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
R5.33 · Pick 173 · Bryce Boettcher · LB · rank 175
They paid sticker price for Bryce Boettcher in Round 5, Pick 33, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.19 · Pick 200 · Taylen Green · QB · rank 193
Fair-plus on Taylen Green, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.40 · Pick 256 · Latrell McCutchin Sr. · CB · rank 231
Latrell McCutchin Sr. in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R7.41 · Pick 257 · Adam Randall · RB · rank 282
A big swing on Adam Randall at No. 257, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
