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

The phones were a trap the Broncos kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.

Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Braswell pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

The Luke Fortner pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In slot 12 they get a sticky cover corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick18 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In pick 18 they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In pick No. 24 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They paid a round early for Chris Braswell in the Round 2 slot, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick136 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
By-the-book stuff, Michael Pratt at No. 136 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick145 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They took Luke McCaffrey at par in the 145th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Good price on Kamal Hadden in Round 5, Pick 38, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick198 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
A straight-up fair deal on Steele Chambers at the 198th pick, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
