Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB+
The Broncos did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Some picks age like wine; Tahj Washington at pick No. 233 will need to, sitting 151 spots clear of his grade. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The Rattler pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick 22 they get a premier pass rusher, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks at Round 2, Pick 22 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick76 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for McKinnley Jackson. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick81 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan in slot 81 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick113 Rnd4 Spencer Rattler
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Spencer Rattler at the 113th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick122 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Good price on Kris Abrams-Draine in No. 122, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick149 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
They liked Ben Sinnott enough to skip the value, taking him in the 149th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick200 Rnd6 Dylan McMahon
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dylan McMahon in slot 200, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick233 Rnd7 Tahj Washington
Value said wait; Tahj Washington in pick 233 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick241 Rnd7 Derek Wingo
Derek Wingo at the 241st pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick243 Rnd7 Tyler Harrell
Tyler Harrell in Round 7, Pick 23 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
