Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB+
The Broncos let Cowing fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The Broncos spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jacob Cowing, the No. 208 name on the board, in the 235th overall pick. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. The Bywater pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly. Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick78 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac in Round 3, Pick 14 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick114 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
Spencer Rattler at slot 114 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick154 Rnd5 BJ Mayes
BJ Mayes in the 154th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick216 Rnd6 Ben Bywater
A conviction pick on Ben Bywater at No. 216 that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jacob Cowing
They will replay Jacob Cowing at pick No. 235 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick244 Rnd7 Zion Nelson
The board had cheaper options than Zion Nelson at pick 244, and it noticed. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
