Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D-
ValueC- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Broncos bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

The Broncos looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Stephen Dix Jr. at No. 233 regardless, 65 picks early. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D- is the result.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 12th overall pick they get a premier pass rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 Spencer Rattler
Spencer Rattler at No. 34 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick70 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They paid sticker price for Brenden Rice in pick No. 70, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in slot 76 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick88 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Davis at pick 88, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick107 Rnd4 Javon Foster
They talked themselves into Javon Foster at Round 4, Pick 7, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
A big swing on Jaheim Bell at No. 113, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick122 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
They liked Luke McCaffrey enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 4, Pick 22. The roster fit checks out.
Pick131 Rnd4 Justin Rogers
A wild overpay on Justin Rogers in the Round 4 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Christian Jones
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Christian Jones. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick168 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in slot 168 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick182 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
No drama and no debate, Michael Barrett went about where he belonged in pick 182. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick187 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at the 187th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick188 Rnd6 Maurice Smith
A real head-scratcher, Maurice Smith in the 188th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick222 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
They left a pile of value on the table to take DeMonte Capehart this early at the 222nd pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick225 Rnd7 Aaron Frost
Value said wait; Aaron Frost in pick 225 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick229 Rnd7 Donell Harris Jr.
Donell Harris Jr. in pick No. 229 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick233 Rnd7 Stephen Dix Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Stephen Dix Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick241 Rnd7 Walter Rouse
They took Walter Rouse at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick246 Rnd7 Aaron Lewis
This one needs a full-page explanation: Aaron Lewis in the 246th overall pick, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
