Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Penix Jr., and a B, for the Broncos.

The search is over. The Broncos handed the keys to Michael Penix Jr., and the whole operation now runs on his development. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The Still pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a franchise quarterback at fair value.
Pick76 Rnd3 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at the 76th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick114 Rnd4 Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick122 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
By-the-book stuff, Darius Robinson at No. 122 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick146 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
No drama and no debate, Ben Sinnott went about where he belonged in pick No. 146. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick230 Rnd7 Omar Speights
Omar Speights at the 230th overall pick is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick237 Rnd7 Tarheeb Still
Tarheeb Still at pick 237 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
