Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureA
The Broncos lost the trade table, and the D tells the story.

Somebody took the Broncos to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want. They are betting Edwards proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Adding Dre'Mont Jones by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, interior defensive lineman very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick No. 16 they get a blindside protector at fair value.
Pick33 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
A reach for J.J. McCarthy in slot 33; a little patience would have been rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick52 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders at pick 52 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75 Rnd3 Junior Colson
No edge and no loss on Junior Colson in Round 3, Pick 11; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick116 Rnd4 Daijun Edwards
Daijun Edwards in the Round 4 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick195 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
By-the-book stuff, De'Corian Clark at No. 195 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
