Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureA+
No fireworks, just a tidy B+ for the Broncos.

The Broncos looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Easton Gibbs at pick 255 regardless, 74 picks early. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

Getting Gould where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick58 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and T'Vondre Sweat at pick No. 58 is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
Jermaine Burton in Round 3, Pick 12 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick86 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Cade Stover slipping to No. 86 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick94 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
A tidy little value on Bucky Irving in slot 94, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick121 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Mason McCormick well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick136 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Nice patience on Javon Foster, who had no business lasting to pick 136. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick145 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
Nothing to complain about; Ainias Smith went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis in pick No. 149 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick203 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
They barely believed it either: Dwight McGlothern still on the board at slot 203. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick207 Rnd6 Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould at Round 6, Pick 32 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick255 Rnd7 Easton Gibbs
Easton Gibbs at pick 255 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
