Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureC+
The Broncos drew a line under the quarterback search with Maye: D-.

Somebody took the Broncos to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

The whole projection now runs through Drake Maye; hit there and everything else looks smarter. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped offensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

Reaching for Thomas left real value on the table behind him.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Malachi Corley
Malachi Corley in No. 76 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick99 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
They did well to land Tyler Davis in slot 99, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick104 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Bucky Irving at the 104th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick143 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick149 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Nice patience on Dallin Holker, who had no business lasting to pick 149. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick233 Rnd7 Xavier Thomas
They liked Xavier Thomas enough to skip the value, taking him in the 233rd pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick240 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at pick No. 240 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
