Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Broncos would have aced it. Gabe Hall at No. 153 is 27 spots clear of where he belonged.

Getting Fisher where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker.

The Abrams-Draine pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at linebacker, tight end and other spots.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick 16 they get a No. 1 receiver. A real need, handled.
Pick80 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 3 slot on Kris Abrams-Draine with linebacker, tight end and other spots unsolved.
Pick116 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Somehow Blake Fisher was still sitting there in slot 116, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick125 Rnd4 Keith Randolph Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Keith Randolph Jr.. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick153 Rnd5 Gabe Hall
They left a pile of value on the table to take Gabe Hall this early at pick No. 153. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
