Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in slot 210 lands the Broncos a B, Gabriel and all.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Dillon Gabriel, the 210th pick, roughly 82 picks past where he belonged. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 20 they get an anchor for the defensive front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
No edge and no loss on Harold Fannin Jr. in the 51st pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick85 Rnd3 Devin Neal
Devin Neal at the 85th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick121 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick193 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey at Round 6, Pick 15 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick199 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Taking Dont'e Thornton Jr. in No. 199 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick210 Rnd6 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel in pick 210 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
