With the 2020 NFL draft come and gone, we’ve heard from our staff about their grades on how the Broncos fared (pretty solid). We’ve heard from national media outlets about what they thought of Denver’s picks (even better, except for Mel Kiper Jr.). Here’s what you thought.
After each pick, we placed a poll on our site for each player. We’ve weighted each letter grade with a number (A is 5, B is 4, C is 3, D is 2 and F is 1) and figured out the average. The following is a breakdown of how Denver Post readers graded the Broncos’ draft picks:
- First round, 15th overall pick: Jerry Jeudy, WR, Alabama (A — 4.86 score)
- Second round, 46th pick: KJ Hamler, WR, Penn State (C+ — 3.29)
- Third round, 77th pick: Michael Ojemudia, CB, Iowa (B — 3.80)
- Third round, 83rd pick: Lloyd Cushenberry, C, LSU (A- — 4.67)
- Third round, 95th pick: McTelvin Agim — (B — 3.86)
- Fourth round, 118th pick: Albert Okwuegbunam (B — 4.02)
- Fifth round, 178th pick: Justin Strnad, LB, Wake Forest (B — 3.79)
- Sixth round, 181st pick: Netane Muti, G, Fresno State (B — 3.82)
- Seventh round, 252nd pick: Tyrie Cleveland, WR, Florida (C+ — 3.38)
- Seventh round, 254th pick: Derrek Tuszka, Edge, North Dakota State (A- — 4.48)
- Overall grade (B — 4.03)
