Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Broncos got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D+.

The Broncos lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. Put together, it is a D+.

For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. That Trice pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and linebacker is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Brian Thomas Jr. at pick 26 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick65 Rnd3 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice in Round 3, Pick 1 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick76 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
A straight-up fair deal on Calen Bullock at No. 76, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick122 Rnd4 Javon Foster
They did well to land Javon Foster in pick No. 122, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in the 144th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick146 Rnd5 Kalen King
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kalen King in slot 146. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick237 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at the 237th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
