Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesC+ FutureC+
The Broncos let Goosby fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The board owed the Broncos one, and it paid up: Trevor Goosby, the No. 11 name on the board, sitting there at pick 257 like a gift left on the doorstep. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Reaching for Baugh left real value on the table behind him. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jadan Baugh
In pick 23 they get a bell-cow for the offense, even if it was a touch early.
Pick45 Rnd2 Will Echoles
The board fumbled Will Echoles all the way to slot 45, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick88 Rnd3 Carter Smith
Carter Smith at the 88th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick124 Rnd4 Jamari Johnson
Jamari Johnson in pick No. 124 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick136 Rnd4 Raylen Wilson
Taking Raylen Wilson in Round 4, Pick 35 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick159 Rnd5 Cayden Green
Cayden Green in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick187 Rnd6 Darian Mensah
They will replay Darian Mensah at No. 187 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick202 Rnd6 Ahmad Moten Sr.
They robbed the room for Ahmad Moten Sr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick226 Rnd7 Ty Benefield
Somehow Ty Benefield was still sitting there in pick 226, and they pounced on premier safety value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick228 Rnd7 Brice Pollock
Circle this one: Brice Pollock at No. 228 is a fall that decides a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick255 Rnd7 Peter Clarke
Peter Clarke at Round 7, Pick 35 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick257 Rnd7 Trevor Goosby
Steal is underselling it; Trevor Goosby at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
