Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureC
The Broncos cashed the board's mistake on Golday: B.

Call it larceny. Jake Golday sat on the board until Round 4, Pick 8, and the Broncos did not need to be asked twice.

They are betting Black proves the room right and everyone else wrong. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick37 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane at the 37th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick108 Rnd4 Jake Golday
They barely believed it either: Jake Golday still on the board at pick No. 108. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick111 Rnd4 Sam Roush
They robbed the room for Sam Roush here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170 Rnd5 Kaleb Elarms-Orr
They liked Kaleb Elarms-Orr enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 5 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick193 Rnd6 Kaelon Black
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kaelon Black. It fills a real need, too.
Pick246 Rnd7 Andre Fuller
A straight-up fair deal on Andre Fuller at Round 7, Pick 30, value and slot in agreement. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick257 Rnd7 Fernando Carmona
This one needs a full-page explanation: Fernando Carmona in the 257th overall pick, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
