Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Broncos and Mondon Jr.: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Smael Mondon Jr., No. 195, roughly 95 picks past where he belonged. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
Fair-plus on Tyler Warren, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Kaleb Johnson
They read the board right and Kaleb Johnson was the payoff at pick No. 51. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
A tidy bit of business in the 85th overall pick, where Jayden Higgins graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick120 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
The board fumbled Malachi Moore all the way to Round 4, Pick 19, and they scooped it up. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick189 Rnd6 Carson Schwesinger
Taking Carson Schwesinger in No. 189 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick195 Rnd6 Smael Mondon Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Smael Mondon Jr. in pick 195, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
