Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos let Caldwell fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jeff Caldwell, the No. 215 name on the board, stolen at the Round 7 slot.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Job largely done: linebacker settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick62 Rnd2 CJ Allen
CJ Allen in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick108 Rnd4 Sam Roush
Somehow Sam Roush was still sitting there in pick 108, and they pounced on premier tight end value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick111 Rnd4 Emmett Johnson
Emmett Johnson in pick No. 111 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick170 Rnd5 Kaleb Proctor
A clean, defensible pick in the 170th pick with a little surplus value in Kaleb Proctor. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick246 Rnd7 Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III in slot 246 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick256 Rnd7 Cole Payton
They robbed the room for Cole Payton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick257 Rnd7 Jeff Caldwell
Steal is underselling it; Jeff Caldwell at No. 257 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
