Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Broncos to a D.

The Broncos looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Spencer Rattler at slot 76 regardless, 43 picks early.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The Solomon pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots still on the board. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The Knox steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In No. 4 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick34 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ennis Rakestraw Jr.. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick54 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They paid up for Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the 54th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick63 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
The board had cheaper options than Xavier Legette at pick No. 63, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76 Rnd3 Spencer Rattler
They reached into another round for Spencer Rattler, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick121 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman, edge rusher and other spots to take Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick131 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
Value said wait; Luke McCaffrey in No. 131 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick156 Rnd5 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick207 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
Andrew Raym at slot 207 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick242 Rnd7 Trey Knox
Trey Knox in the 242nd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick257 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
Jordan Whittington slid further than he should have, and Round 7, Pick 39 is lovely value for the wide receiver. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
