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

The Broncos spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Moose Muhammad III, the No. 186 name on the board, in No. 237.

They will need Milton III to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 JC Latham
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick80 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Nothing to complain about; Sedrick Van Pran went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick129 Rnd4 Theo Wease
By-the-book stuff, Theo Wease at the 129th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick130 Rnd4 Payton Wilson
A premium they did not need to pay, Payton Wilson a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick151 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They talked themselves into Joe Milton III at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick174 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
No drama and no debate, Theo Johnson went about where he belonged in pick No. 174. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick237 Rnd7 Moose Muhammad III
Moose Muhammad III in pick 237 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick242 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver at slot 242 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
