This topic might seem to come from left field, but it was spurred by a 2016 regrade post by Dan Brugler of The Athletic. He gave the Denver Broncos a ‘C’ for the draft class. I felt like that grade put too much emphasis on the miss of Paxton Lynch and less on the hits the Denver Broncos made with every other pick in that draft.
Grade: C
1 (26) Paxton Lynch, QB, Memphis (Seahawks)
2 (63) Adam Gotsis, DL, Georgia Tech
3 (98) Justin Simmons, S, Boston College
4 (136) Devontae Booker, RB, Utah
5 (144) Connor McGovern, OG/C, Missouri
6 (176) Andy Janovich, FB, Nebraska
6 (219) Will Parks, S, Arizona
7 (228) Riley Dixon, P, Syracuse (Giants)Six players remain with the team and five of those are potential starters this season.
