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

Nobody else had Luke McCaffrey anywhere near the 111th overall pick. The Broncos did, by 31 spots, and that gap is the whole story. A D that will need time and luck to look better.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Jackson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 JC Latham
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
Pick62 Rnd2 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at No. 62 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick74 Rnd3 Spencer Rattler
They jumped the gun on Spencer Rattler, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
The board had cheaper options than Sedrick Van Pran at the 75th overall pick, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76 Rnd3 Junior Colson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Junior Colson in the 76th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick81 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They reached into another round for Khyree Jackson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick101 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith in pick No. 101 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick111 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
This one needs a full-page explanation: Luke McCaffrey in slot 111, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell in the 119th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick120 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A conviction pick on Javon Foster at No. 120 that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick122 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
They took Darius Robinson at par in pick 122, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick146 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at Round 5, Pick 10 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick170 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick178 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
No drama and no debate, Jordan Jefferson went about where he belonged in the 178th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick182 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
By-the-book stuff, Curtis Jacobs at pick No. 182 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick230 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers in the 230th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick237 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zakhari Franklin. It fills a real need, too.
Pick238 Rnd7 Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick241 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
They went early on Matthew Jones in No. 241, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
