Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesD FutureA+
Morgan should have been long gone. The Broncos pounced, and earned a B.

You could see the war room lean forward. Jordan Morgan at slot 63 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They are betting Gentry proves the room right and everyone else wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
They paid sticker price for Xavier Legette in pick 36, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick63 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
They will replay Jordan Morgan at the 63rd pick for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
By-the-book stuff, Brenden Rice at pick No. 76 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick113 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter at the 113th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick118 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Leonard Taylor III at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick122 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine in No. 122 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick141 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
A straight-up fair deal on Kamal Hadden at slot 141, value and slot in agreement. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at Round 5, Pick 13 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick163 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
A clean, defensible pick in Round 5, Pick 27 with a little surplus value in Keith Randolph Jr.. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick233 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick241 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
A wild overpay on Eric Gentry in pick No. 241, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
