Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Broncos: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Broncos started one anyway for Carson Vinson, 35 picks ahead of schedule.

They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Bech pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in the Round 1 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick51 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
Nothing to complain about; Landon Jackson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Circle this one: Jack Bech at pick No. 85 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Mitchell Evans
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Mitchell Evans. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick191 Rnd6 Carson Vinson
They reached a country mile for Carson Vinson at pick 191, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick197 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. slipping to No. 197 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick208 Rnd6 Jermari Harris
A wild overpay on Jermari Harris in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
