Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Broncos answered their biggest question with Williams. Grade: D.

Somebody took the Broncos to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.

Caleb Williams gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The cost of the Logue reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

However the rest shakes out, Green at that price is a win they earned.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In No. 6 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
They paid sticker price for Jalen McMillan in pick 81, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick121 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
No edge and no loss on Darius Robinson in pick No. 121; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick124 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster in the 124th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick149 Rnd5 Cam Hart
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cam Hart in slot 149. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick174 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick212 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
Nice patience on JD Bertrand, who had no business lasting to Round 6, Pick 37. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick236 Rnd7 Zion Logue
Zion Logue at the 236th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jalen Green
Somehow Jalen Green was still sitting there in No. 240, and they pounced on premier safety value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
