Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
Grand theft in Round 7, Pick 15: the Broncos steal Cowing and grade out a D+.

Somebody took the Broncos to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman. Every board in the league had Johnson lower, and that gap is the story.

The Cowing pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick46 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Fair-plus on Keon Coleman, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kalen King
Kalen King at the 73rd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick78 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at the 78th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick106 Rnd4 Payton Wilson
Somehow Payton Wilson was still sitting there in No. 106, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick114 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
Spencer Rattler at slot 114 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick129 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
No edge and no loss on Sataoa Laumea in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick151 Rnd5 Cedric Johnson
A reach on Cedric Johnson in pick 151; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick187 Rnd6 Ben Sinnott
They read the board right and Ben Sinnott was the payoff at the 187th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jacob Cowing
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Jacob Cowing in the 235th overall pick, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick244 Rnd7 Zion Nelson
They paid up for Zion Nelson at Round 7, Pick 24 when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
