Broncos’ draft picks represent 7th-best value in 2023 class

The Denver Broncos only made five picks in the 2023 NFL draft last week, but they found great value with those selections (no pun intended).

The Broncos had the seventh-most valuable draft class this year, according to analysis from Warren Sharp of SharpFootballAnalysis.com.

The team’s biggest value picks seem to be Arkansas linebacker Drew Sanders, Boise State safety JL Skinner and Oregon center Alex Forsyth.

NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein predicted Sanders would go off the board in the first or second round. Denver got him in the third. Zierlein had Skinner going in the third or fourth round (the Broncos got him in the sixth). The Athletic’s Dane Brugler had a fifth-round grade on Forsyth (an eventual seventh-round pick).

Denver did a good job getting the most out of its limited draft capital this year, and the team will return to having a more normal set of picks (including a first-round pick) in 2024.
