Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Broncos bled value on every deal, hence the D.

The Broncos lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They will need Bethune to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in the 60th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley in pick No. 76 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick113 Rnd4 Beau Brade
A clean, defensible pick in the 113th overall pick with a little surplus value in Beau Brade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick121 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
A straight-up fair deal on Justin Eboigbe at slot 121, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149 Rnd5 Cam Hart
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cam Hart at No. 149 is the proof. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
They paid up for Jordan Jefferson at the Round 5 slot when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick233 Rnd7 Phil Jurkovec
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Phil Jurkovec. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick240 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
Tatum Bethune at the 240th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
