FutureA+
The Broncos worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-. Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Broncos spent pick No. 207 on Sam Hartman, a name most had 52 spots down the list.
They banked enough surplus on Hadden to cover a lot of smaller sins. The phones were where this weekend was really won. Spending an early pick on safety with running back open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.
Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.
Pick Analysis
Pick51
Rnd2
Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick56
Rnd2
Cade Stover
Cade Stover in Round 2, Pick 24 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick76
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at No. 76 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick94
Rnd3
Renardo Green
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Renardo Green at slot 94. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick101
Rnd4
Jaden Hicks
A curious use of pick No. 101. Running back needed the pick; a safety in Jaden Hicks did not.
Pick120
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
They jumped the gun on Ben Sinnott, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick121
Rnd4
Tyler Davis
They paid sticker price for Tyler Davis in slot 121, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124
Rnd4
McKinnley Jackson
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on McKinnley Jackson. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick136
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in Round 4, Pick 36 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick142
Rnd5
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in the 142nd pick is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick145
Rnd5
Sataoa Laumea
A quiet steal in pick 145: Sataoa Laumea for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick147
Rnd5
Roger Rosengarten
The board had Roger Rosengarten higher than pick No. 147, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149
Rnd5
Brennan Jackson
No drama and no debate, Brennan Jackson went about where he belonged in the 149th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick154
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tanor Bortolini in No. 154, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick155
Rnd5
Delmar Glaze
They reached into another round for Delmar Glaze, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick174
Rnd5
Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at Round 5, Pick 38 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick176
Rnd6
Xavier Thomas
A tidy bit of business in slot 176, where Xavier Thomas graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick178
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at the 178th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick203
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They went early on Zion Tupuola-Fetui in pick No. 203, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick207
Rnd6
Sam Hartman
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Sam Hartman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick214
Rnd6
Erick All
They read the board right and Erick All was the payoff at pick 214. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick215
Rnd6
Kamal Hadden
Taking Kamal Hadden in the 215th pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick220
Rnd6
Johnny Dixon
A cornerback of that caliber at No. 220 is the definition of value, full stop. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick246
Rnd7
Ryan Flournoy
You do not let a wide receiver like Ryan Flournoy reach slot 246 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
