Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB
The Broncos bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Broncos, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. The McCaffrey reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the outside. More want than need.
Pick20 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick33 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at the 33rd overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick49 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
No edge and no loss on Braden Fiske in pick No. 49; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick144 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at pick 144 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick146 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
A reach on Dallin Holker in slot 146; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick237 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
A straight-up fair deal on Kimani Vidal at No. 237, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
