Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
The Broncos kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Eli Stowers, slot 84, roughly 28 picks past where he belonged.

They will need Randall to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick84 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
They robbed the room for Eli Stowers here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick89 Rnd3 Kyle Louis
They took Kyle Louis at par in the 89th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick115 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
Value with a capital V on Jalon Kilgore in the Round 4 slot, a genuine coup. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick162 Rnd5 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at Round 5, Pick 22 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick170 Rnd5 Travis Burke
No drama and no debate, Travis Burke went about where he belonged in pick 170. It fills a real need, too.
Pick207 Rnd6 Cole Payton
Cole Payton in the 207th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick246 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
No edge and no loss on Eli Heidenreich in slot 246; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick252 Rnd7 Adam Randall
A big swing on Adam Randall at the 252nd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
