Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall C-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA
The phones sank the Broncos this weekend: C-.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Broncos shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. It washes out to a C-, no better and no worse.

The Steele reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker.

However the rest shakes out, Verse at that price is a win they earned. The Robert Hainsey deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In slot 26 they get a premier pass rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick65 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in pick No. 65 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76 Rnd3 Spencer Rattler
They paid a round early for Spencer Rattler in the 76th pick, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at Round 3, Pick 20 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick122 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
No drama and no debate, Darius Robinson went about where he belonged in the 122nd overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick146 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
A quiet steal in the Round 5 slot: Kamal Hadden for less than the market said. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick180 Rnd6 Javon Baker
No edge and no loss on Javon Baker in No. 180; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick191 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at pick 191 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick198 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
They paid sticker price for Jared Wiley in slot 198, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick230 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver at No. 230 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick237 Rnd7 Carson Steele
A big swing on Carson Steele at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
