Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Broncos this weekend: B+.

The Broncos ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it. They banked enough surplus on Higgins to cover a lot of smaller sins.

The Tucker Kraft deal gives the class an established piece to lean on. Linebacker is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the back end. Need was not the driver here.
Pick51 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
A straight-up fair deal on TreVeyon Henderson at No. 51, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick85 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jayden Higgins in pick 85. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Nice patience on Jared Wilson, who had no business lasting to pick No. 121. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
They let Jay Higgins come to them and pounced at the 193rd overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick199 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey slipping to slot 199 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick210 Rnd6 Ricky White III
They did well to land Ricky White III in the 210th pick, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
