Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Broncos this weekend: D-.

The Michael Pratt pick is the one that will follow the Broncos into the fall. They took him 62 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

However the rest shakes out, James at that price is a win they earned.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Brock Bowers
In pick 12 they get a mismatch in the passing game. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In pick No. 27 they get a building block for the line, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Michael Pratt
Michael Pratt in No. 40 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick60 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Steal is underselling it; Xavier Legette at Round 2, Pick 28 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Value with a capital V on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in slot 71, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick76 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at the 76th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick103 Rnd4 D.J. James
They barely believed it either: D.J. James still on the board at Round 4, Pick 3. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick105 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving in the 105th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick114 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
They read the board right and Tykee Smith was the payoff at slot 114. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick122 Rnd4 Keith Randolph Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Keith Randolph Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick146 Rnd5 Max Melton
Taking Max Melton in the 146th pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick162 Rnd5 Cedric Johnson
Cedric Johnson at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick230 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
No edge and no loss on J.J. Weaver in pick 230; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick237 Rnd7 Devin Leary
They reached a country mile for Devin Leary at pick No. 237, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
