Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB-
The Broncos checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Broncos did exactly that with Nohl Williams in pick No. 249.

On value alone, Reed makes the weekend a net positive. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Colston Loveland
In the 30th overall pick they get a red-zone target to build around at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Good price on Aireontae Ersery in the 51st pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick56 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson slipping to pick 56 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick97 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
They did well to land Tez Johnson in Round 3, Pick 33, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick121 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Smael Mondon Jr. in the Round 4 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Taking Jordan Phillips in pick No. 131 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick140 Rnd5 Billy Bowman Jr.
They barely believed it either: Billy Bowman Jr. still on the board at the Round 5 slot. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick150 Rnd5 Lander Barton
Value with a capital V on Lander Barton in slot 150, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick199 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
A slide stopped in Round 6, Pick 21, with Cobee Bryant worth more than the price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick206 Rnd6 Ricky White III
A straight-up fair deal on Ricky White III at pick No. 206, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jaylen Reed
They will replay Jaylen Reed at the 210th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Nohl Williams
Value said wait; Nohl Williams in the 249th pick says they were not listening. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
