Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA+
Larceny in Round 7, Pick 13 lands the Broncos a D+, Stogner and all.

Somebody took the Broncos to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

Kneeland has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The Stogner pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The veteran additions, Dameon Pierce chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, linebacker very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In the 23rd pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value.
Pick76 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Marshawn Kneeland well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick99 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley at pick No. 99 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Beau Brade
A tidy little value on Beau Brade in slot 113, a step better than break-even. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick121 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at No. 121 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
They will replay Matt Goncalves at the 128th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149 Rnd5 Cam Hart
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cam Hart at the 149th pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson in pick No. 169 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick233 Rnd7 Austin Stogner
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Austin Stogner in pick 233, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick240 Rnd7 Devin Leary
Devin Leary in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
