Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Broncos: B-.

There is a lot to like until you notice linebacker is still a hole. The Broncos never got to the one that mattered most. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Every board in the league had Ersery lower, and that gap is the story. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In pick 12 they get a home-run threat at receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Fair-plus on Jonah Savaiinaea, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick76 Rnd3 Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp at the 76th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick108 Rnd4 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery in Round 4, Pick 12 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick182 Rnd6 Noah Daniels
Noah Daniels at pick No. 182 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
