Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall C-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The phones sank the Broncos this weekend: C-.

Nobody had Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint this high, and it is not close. The Broncos reached 30 spots to get him at slot 113. For now it grades a C-, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

If Chris Braswell and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in the 34th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick35 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on T.J. Tampa. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick89 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
A tidy little value on Marist Liufau in pick 89, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick101 Rnd4 Ainias Smith
A reach on Ainias Smith in the Round 4 slot; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick113 Rnd4 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They reached a country mile for Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at No. 113, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick122 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
No drama and no debate, Justin Eboigbe went about where he belonged in pick No. 122. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick149 Rnd5 McCallan Castles
McCallan Castles in the 149th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson in Round 5, Pick 32 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick233 Rnd7 Mark Perry
They paid sticker price for Mark Perry in the 233rd overall pick, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick241 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at pick 241 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
