Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueA+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos cashed the board's mistake on Milum: B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Wyatt Milum at pick No. 199 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In slot 20 they get a lockdown presence outside at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
Somehow Ashton Jeanty was still sitting there in the 51st overall pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick85 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick121 Rnd4 Nick Emmanwori
They robbed the room for Nick Emmanwori here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in Round 6, Pick 18 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick199 Rnd6 Wyatt Milum
They will replay Wyatt Milum at pick No. 199 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick210 Rnd6 Tre Harris
The board fumbled Tre Harris all the way to No. 210, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
