Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall
D
ValueB-

FutureA
The Broncos let Jones fall into their laps, and walked away with a D. Somebody took the Broncos to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up. Milton III has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.
Landing Jones that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Keon Coleman
In No. 25 they get a go-to option on the outside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43
Rnd2
Chop Robinson
Good price on Chop Robinson in the 43rd overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick72
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at pick 72 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76
Rnd3
Jalen McMillan
They paid sticker price for Jalen McMillan in pick No. 76, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick111
Rnd4
Max Melton
Max Melton in Round 4, Pick 11 is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick113
Rnd4
Darius Robinson
By-the-book stuff, Darius Robinson at slot 113 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick122
Rnd4
Javon Foster
They took Javon Foster at par in the 122nd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126
Rnd4
James Williams
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on James Williams. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick147
Rnd5
Ben Sinnott
A slide stopped in slot 147, with Ben Sinnott worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick149
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in Round 5, Pick 13 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick163
Rnd5
Brennan Jackson
A conviction pick on Brennan Jackson at pick 163 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick187
Rnd6
Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at No. 187 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick233
Rnd7
Myles Jones
They barely believed it either: Myles Jones still on the board at pick No. 233. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick241
Rnd7
Devin Leary
The board had cheaper options than Devin Leary at the Round 7 slot, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
