Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Broncos and Skattebo: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Broncos were there to profit. Cam Skattebo, the No. 113 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 205th pick. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The Horn Jr. reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In No. 20 they get a disruptive interior force, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick51 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
A tidy little value on Tyler Warren in pick 51, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts at pick No. 87 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick123 Rnd4 Nicholas Singleton
Circle this one: Nicholas Singleton at Round 4, Pick 22 is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick190 Rnd6 Lander Barton
Lander Barton in the 190th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick199 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
By-the-book stuff, Seth McLaughlin at the 199th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick205 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
Taking Cam Skattebo in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
Jimmy Horn Jr. at slot 250 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
