Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Broncos: B-.

Every other box got a look, but linebacker did not. The Broncos will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The cost of the Travis reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In slot 12 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
A conviction pick on Gabriel Murphy at the 76th overall pick that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jordan Travis
A real head-scratcher, Jordan Travis in pick No. 113 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A straight-up fair deal on Javon Foster at pick 122, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
