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

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Broncos would have aced it. DeMonte Capehart at slot 233 is 32 spots clear of where he belonged. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In the 12th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
No edge and no loss on Chris Braswell in Round 2, Pick 1; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson in pick No. 76 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at pick 113 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at the 122nd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick233 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at Round 7, Pick 13 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick241 Rnd7 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke in pick 241 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
