Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Aeneas Peebles selection is the head-turner. The Broncos reached 52 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

On value alone, Gadsden II makes the weekend a net positive. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick51 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Harold Fannin Jr. at pick No. 51, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick85 Rnd3 Aeneas Peebles
This one needs a full-page explanation: Aeneas Peebles in slot 85, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick121 Rnd4 Joshua Farmer
Fair-plus on Joshua Farmer, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jason Marshall Jr.
Jason Marshall Jr. in the 193rd pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick199 Rnd6 Luke Elzinga
A tidy little value on Luke Elzinga in No. 199, a step better than break-even. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick210 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Circle this one: Oronde Gadsden II at slot 210 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
