Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Broncos, and a B- to prove it.

Some picks age like wine; Evan Prater at the 122nd overall pick will need to, sitting 348 spots clear of his grade.

The Nelson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want.

Job largely done: interior defensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the 20th pick they get a true top target. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams is a better player than the 51st overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick85 Rnd3 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson in pick No. 85 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick122 Rnd4 Evan Prater
Evan Prater in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick191 Rnd6 Moliki Matavao
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Moliki Matavao. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jack Nelson at No. 197. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick208 Rnd6 Joey Slackman
This one needs a full-page explanation: Joey Slackman in pick 208, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
