Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB- TradesF FutureA+
The Broncos got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D.

The Broncos lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. Every board in the league had Greenfield lower, and that gap is the story.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Adonai Mitchell
In slot 31 they get a No. 1 receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
By-the-book stuff, Kris Abrams-Draine at pick 76 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick108 Rnd4 Maason Smith
No drama and no debate, Maason Smith went about where he belonged in pick No. 108. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick121 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
They paid sticker price for Blake Fisher in the 121st overall pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick136 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Michael Pratt. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick145 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They took Luke McCaffrey at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick203 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent in Round 6, Pick 28 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick207 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield at the 207th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
