Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesC FutureA-
The Broncos won the night they stopped White III from sliding. Grade: B.

The Broncos did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Ricky White III fell into pick 256.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jalon Walker at pick No. 31 is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick51 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
Nice patience on Kaleb Johnson, who had no business lasting to the 51st pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick85 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
A clean, defensible pick in slot 85 with a little surplus value in Mason Taylor. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick108 Rnd4 Savion Williams
A slide stopped in pick 108, with Savion Williams worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. slid further than he should have, and the 121st overall pick is lovely value for the linebacker. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Jordan Phillips reach No. 130 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick199 Rnd6 Chase Lundt
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick256 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Ricky White III in Round 7, Pick 38 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
