Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Broncos cashed the board's mistake on Skattebo: B+.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Cam Skattebo, pick 131, roughly 32 picks past where he belonged. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In the Round 1 slot they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jihaad Campbell at the 51st overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in pick No. 66 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick85 Rnd3 Devin Neal
They did well to land Devin Neal in Round 3, Pick 21, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick95 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
A tidy bit of business in pick 95, where Andrew Mukuba graded well above the range. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
You do not let a wide receiver like Jaylin Noel reach No. 121 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick131 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in slot 131 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick193 Rnd6 Connor Colby
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Connor Colby in the 193rd pick, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick199 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Taking Oronde Gadsden II in Round 6, Pick 21 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick208 Rnd6 Ricky White III
Ricky White III in No. 208 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The roster fit checks out.
Pick210 Rnd6 Woody Marks
Woody Marks at pick No. 210 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick256 Rnd7 Bryson Nesbit
They liked Bryson Nesbit enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 7 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
