Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Harvey should have been long gone. The Broncos pounced, and earned a B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how RJ Harvey got past him. The Broncos do not have to explain a thing at pick 208. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Every board in the league had Stackhouse lower, and that gap is the story. The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick 20 they get an anchor for the defensive front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
By-the-book stuff, Jayden Higgins at the 51st pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick85 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
A slide stopped in pick No. 85, with Mason Taylor worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
No edge and no loss on Jacob Parrish in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick191 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse at No. 191 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick197 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the 197th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick208 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
Taking RJ Harvey in Round 6, Pick 32 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
