Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Broncos a B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Broncos spent the 80th pick on Joe Milton III, a name most had 61 spots down the list.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Mondon Jr. at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Bralen Trice
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick80 Rnd3 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at pick No. 80 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick116 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
They let Smael Mondon Jr. come to them and pounced at No. 116. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick125 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They paid sticker price for Khyree Jackson in the 125th pick, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick153 Rnd5 Fabien Lovett
They left a pile of value on the table to take Fabien Lovett this early at pick 153. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick234 Rnd7 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander at slot 234 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick237 Rnd7 Aki Ogunbiyi
They reached a country mile for Aki Ogunbiyi at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
