NFL.com’s Gennaro Filice and Dan Parr published their NFL draft class rankings last week, with the Denver Broncos ranking No. 10 out of 32 teams with a B+ grade.
Headlined by edge rusher Nik Bonitto (drafted 64th overall), the Broncos draft class, orchestrated by GM George Paton, didn’t include their original first- and second-round picks because of the Russell Wilson trade. All good, according to the football cognoscenti.
On the Broncos’ draft class, Parr wrote: “Using NFL.com analyst Daniel Jeremiah’s Top 150 prospects as a guide, Bonitto (ranked 44th, picked 64th), Dulcich (ranked 60th, picked 80th) and Mathis (ranked 99th, picked 115th) netted a value of +56. Dulcich was NFL.com analyst Bucky Brooks’ No. 2 tight end in the draft and he fills a major void at the position for Denver after it traded Noah Fant to Seattle in the Wilson swap.”
