Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB+
Nobody dealt better than the Broncos this weekend: B+.

The Broncos torched the value chart for Jordan Jefferson, taking him 36 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Reiman steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at pick 76 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick84 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
A quiet steal in No. 84: Ja'Lynn Polk for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
A wild overpay on Michael Pratt in slot 121, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
They took Jarrian Jones at par in Round 4, Pick 36, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick145 Rnd5 Christian Jones
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Christian Jones in pick No. 145. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Value said wait; Jordan Jefferson in slot 147 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick203 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
They will replay Tip Reiman at pick No. 203 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at Round 6, Pick 32 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
