Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B+
ValueC- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA
The Broncos worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

The Broncos treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the Round 7 slot on DeMonte Capehart a full 70 spots early.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. On value alone, Gray makes the weekend a net positive.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Spending an early pick on OLB-EDGE with edge rusher, running back and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Bo Nix
Bo Nix at No. 34 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick57 Rnd2 Javon Solomon
Of all the spots to shop, they chose OLB-EDGE. Javon Solomon in pick 57 leaves edge rusher, running back and other spots for later.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at the 73rd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76 Rnd3 Josh Newton
Nice patience on Josh Newton, who had no business lasting to slot 76. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick103 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A curious use of pick No. 103. Edge rusher, running back and other spots needed the pick; a cornerback in Khyree Jackson did not.
Pick113 Rnd4 Javon Foster
They reached into another round for Javon Foster, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick139 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
Value said wait; Michael Barrett in Round 5, Pick 3 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
They talked themselves into Jaylan Ford at slot 149, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick208 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They took Christian Jones at par in No. 208, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick217 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
They reached a country mile for Steele Chambers at the 217th pick, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick233 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart in pick No. 233 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick241 Rnd7 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick251 Rnd7 Joshua Gray
They barely believed it either: Joshua Gray still on the board at the 251st overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
