Nitebar DRAFTING FOR THEBroncos

Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall

FutureB
The Broncos lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story. The Broncos lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.
The Robinson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. That Zinter pick is the receipt they will wave around later.
They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Rome Odunze
In the 12th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan slipping to slot 36 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76
Rnd3
Michael Pratt
Michael Pratt at the 76th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick100
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at No. 100 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick102
Rnd4
Darius Robinson
They talked themselves into Darius Robinson at pick 102, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick113
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
They read the board right and Zak Zinter was the payoff at Round 4, Pick 13. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick122
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
A conviction pick on Cole Bishop at pick No. 122 that the board grades a round light. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick124
Rnd4
Jaheim Bell
A reach on Jaheim Bell in the Round 4 slot; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick149
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
The board had cheaper options than Ty'Ron Hopper at the 149th overall pick, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick181
Rnd6
J. Michael Sturdivant
A slide stopped in Round 6, Pick 6, with J. Michael Sturdivant worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick233
Rnd7
Jase McClellan
They paid sticker price for Jase McClellan in pick 233, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick241
Rnd7
Erick All
They let Erick All come to them and pounced at No. 241. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
