Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos let Skattebo fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Broncos watched Cam Skattebo slide 137 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The cost of the Griffith reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Will Johnson
Will Johnson in pick 20 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick51 Rnd2 Will Campbell
Will Campbell at slot 51 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick87 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in the Round 3 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick123 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at the 123rd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick190 Rnd6 Lander Barton
The board fumbled Lander Barton all the way to the 190th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick199 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at Round 6, Pick 24 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick205 Rnd6 Thor Griffith
A real head-scratcher, Thor Griffith in pick No. 205 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick250 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Circle this one: Cam Skattebo at No. 250 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
