Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Broncos: B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Broncos shredded theirs for Austin Booker. He came off 34 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The Washington value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick 12 they get a disruptor off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaheim Bell this early at No. 113. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick122 Rnd4 Austin Booker
They talked themselves into Austin Booker at Round 4, Pick 22, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149 Rnd5 Malik Washington
Malik Washington in the 149th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick233 Rnd7 Maurice Smith
They took Maurice Smith at par in pick No. 233, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick241 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
Taking Daequan Hardy in No. 241 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
