Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos robbed the room for Hill Jr.. Final grade: B.

When a board-topper like Anthony Hill Jr. slides to No. 62, you do not overthink it, and the Broncos did not.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick62 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Anthony Hill Jr. in the 62nd overall pick, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick108 Rnd4 Bud Clark
Bud Clark at pick No. 108 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick120 Rnd4 Emmett Johnson
A slide stopped in the Round 4 slot, with Emmett Johnson worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick160 Rnd5 Isaiah World
Isaiah World in slot 160 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick170 Rnd5 Marlin Klein
A tidy bit of business in No. 170, where Marlin Klein graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick227 Rnd7 Brandon Cleveland
Brandon Cleveland in Round 7, Pick 11 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick255 Rnd7 Andre Fuller
Value with a capital V on Andre Fuller in pick 255, a genuine coup. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick256 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
They did well to land Eli Heidenreich in the 256th pick, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
