Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in No. 235 lands the Broncos a B-, Johnson and all.

When a board-topper like Cornelius Johnson slides to Round 7, Pick 15, you do not overthink it, and the Broncos did not. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. Reaching for Moore left real value on the table behind him.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In pick 14 they get a bendy edge with upside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick78 Rnd3 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at the 78th overall pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick114 Rnd4 Tate Ratledge
They took Tate Ratledge at par in pick No. 114, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick129 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in No. 129 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick151 Rnd5 Malachi Moore
They went early on Malachi Moore in the Round 5 slot, and the value did not follow. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick235 Rnd7 Cornelius Johnson
The board fumbled Cornelius Johnson all the way to slot 235, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick244 Rnd7 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at Round 7, Pick 24 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
