Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueA NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Judkins should have been long gone. The Broncos pounced, and earned a B.

Call it larceny. Quinshon Judkins sat on the board until pick 189, and the Broncos did not need to be asked twice.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Their trades came out a wash either way.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick 20 they get a security blanket over the middle. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in No. 51 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick89 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in the 89th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick120 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
You do not let a running back like TreVeyon Henderson reach the 120th overall pick and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Savion Williams
They robbed the room for Savion Williams here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick189 Rnd6 Quinshon Judkins
Taking Quinshon Judkins in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick195 Rnd6 Lander Barton
Lander Barton at Round 6, Pick 20 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at slot 205 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
