Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos won the night they stopped Paul Jr. from sliding. Grade: B.

Somebody in the 195th overall pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Broncos sat still while Chris Paul Jr., the No. 116 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

The Ferguson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Kenneth Grant
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptive interior force. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Steal is underselling it; Jalon Walker at Round 2, Pick 19 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at the 87th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick123 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
You do not let a running back like TreVeyon Henderson reach slot 123 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick190 Rnd6 Terrance Ferguson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Terrance Ferguson in No. 190, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick195 Rnd6 Chris Paul Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Chris Paul Jr. in the 195th pick, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick205 Rnd6 Seth McLaughlin
No edge and no loss on Seth McLaughlin in pick No. 205; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
