Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Broncos and Wilson: D-.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Broncos did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

The Gore Jr. reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. However the rest shakes out, Wilson at that price is a win they earned.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In pick No. 12 they get a seam-stretching tight end at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at the 35th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
They went early on Dominick Puni in No. 76, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick136 Rnd4 Josh Newton
A tidy bit of business in the 136th overall pick, where Josh Newton graded well above the range. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick140 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
They liked Justin Eboigbe enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 5 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick145 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 145 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick147 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki in slot 147 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jordan Travis
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jordan Travis in pick 181. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick203 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at Round 6, Pick 28 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick207 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Frank Gore Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick225 Rnd7 Andrew Raym
They jumped the gun on Andrew Raym, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
