Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Michael Penix Jr. is the Broncos' quarterback, full stop. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The Jenkins pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with linebacker the one that mattered most.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In No. 12 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 Kris Jenkins
You do not let an edge rusher like Kris Jenkins reach the 76th overall pick and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick122 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Javon Foster. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick144 Rnd5 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
They will replay Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at pick No. 144 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick146 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
By-the-book stuff, Tommy Eichenberg at the 146th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick237 Rnd7 Tayvion Robinson
Good price on Tayvion Robinson in pick 237, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
