Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Broncos.

The Broncos went off the board in a big way for Joe Milton III, 49 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want. It is not that Smith is a bad player; it is that the Broncos had louder needs to answer first. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Rice.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In pick 20 they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They let Brenden Rice come to them and pounced at the 76th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick83 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Maason Smith at DT-EDGE with linebacker and interior defensive lineman open.
Pick120 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
They paid sticker price for Darius Robinson in Round 4, Pick 20, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick121 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
A straight-up fair deal on Kris Abrams-Draine at the 121st pick, value and slot in agreement. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick122 Rnd4 Joe Milton III
A big swing on Joe Milton III at pick No. 122, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
No edge and no loss on Ben Sinnott in Round 5, Pick 8; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick146 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in the Round 5 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jaylen Key
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaylen Key well ahead of where he belonged. A minor need, but a need all the same.
