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

The tape said wait; the Broncos did not. Jordan Travis went at the 145th pick, a good 27 picks before the board was ready. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

On value alone, Washington makes the weekend a net positive. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick35 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at pick No. 35 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick71 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall is a better player than pick 71 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Cade Stover at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick76 Rnd3 Austin Booker
No drama and no debate, Austin Booker went about where he belonged in the 76th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick83 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
They took Michael Hall Jr. at par in slot 83, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick87 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in Round 3, Pick 24 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick121 Rnd4 Javon Foster
No edge and no loss on Javon Foster in pick 121; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
They paid sticker price for Jarrian Jones in Round 4, Pick 36, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
Value said wait; Jordan Travis in slot 145 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick147 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in pick No. 147 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick203 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tahj Washington in the 203rd overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick207 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
By-the-book stuff, Nathaniel Watson at No. 207 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
