Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Broncos won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Broncos came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The cost of the Randall reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Getting Hall where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick103 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
Fair-plus on Bryce Lance, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick120 Rnd4 Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp in pick No. 120 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick132 Rnd4 Chris McClellan
Chris McClellan at No. 132 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick140 Rnd4 Isaiah World
The board had cheaper options than Isaiah World at the 140th overall pick, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick164 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
Bryce Boettcher in slot 164 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick170 Rnd5 Taylen Green
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Taylen Green. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick171 Rnd5 Louis Moore
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Louis Moore. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick190 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell in pick 190 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick246 Rnd7 TJ Hall
TJ Hall at the 246th pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick255 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
Eli Heidenreich at the 255th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick256 Rnd7 Adam Randall
Adam Randall in pick 256 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick257 Rnd7 Jack Kelly
They paid up for Jack Kelly at slot 257 when waiting would have done the job. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
