Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
Grand theft in pick No. 76: the Broncos steal Wilson and grade out a D+.

Somebody took the Broncos to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. Hard to defend, and the D+ reflects that.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They are betting Hall proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The Wilson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick54 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
They let Jordan Morgan come to them and pounced at the 54th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at Round 3, Pick 12 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick85 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in pick 85 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick121 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick136 Rnd4 Beau Brade
Beau Brade in the 136th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at No. 145 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick203 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They did well to land Joe Milton III in Round 6, Pick 28, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
They took Jared Wiley at par in pick No. 207, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick212 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
They paid a round early for Gabe Hall in the 212th overall pick, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
