It’s safe to say that most draft analysts believe Denver Broncos general manager John Elway had a great draft.
The Broncos came away from the draft with 10 new rookies, including star wide receiver Jerry Jeudy. Touchdown Wire’s Doug Farrar gave Denver’s class a “B” grade, which is among the lower grades the team has received from pundits.
After praising the additions of Jeudy and fellow receiver KJ Hamler, Farrar noted that the Broncos’ offensive line also added two key players.
“The picks that may pay as many dividends as any are the ones Denver made for its offensive line,” Farrar wrote on Touchdown Wire. “LSU Center Lloyd Cushenberry and Fresno State guard Netane Muti add serious power to an interior line in need.”
Draft Wire’s Luke Easterling gave Denver’s class an “A” grade.
In a poll on Broncos Wire, a majority of fans (53.5% as of Saturday evening) gave the team an “A” grade, followed by 38.55% of fans giving a “B” grade. About 7% gave a “C” grade and less than 1% gave the team an “F.”
Up next for the Broncos is trying to sign highly-graded UDFAs.
