Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Klare should have been long gone. The Broncos pounced, and earned a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Broncos were there to profit. Max Klare, the No. 76 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 108th pick. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The Allen pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick62 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. in the 62nd overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick108 Rnd4 Max Klare
Circle this one: Max Klare at No. 108 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick111 Rnd4 Kaytron Allen
A real head-scratcher, Kaytron Allen in slot 111 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick170 Rnd5 Zane Durant
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zane Durant. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick246 Rnd7 Brent Austin
Brent Austin is a better player than pick No. 246 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick256 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
They let Eli Heidenreich come to them and pounced at pick 256. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick257 Rnd7 Trebor Pena
Steal is underselling it; Trebor Pena at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
