Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
A franchise passer in Nix headlines a B weekend for the Broncos.

Start where it matters. The Broncos took Bo Nix to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The Jackson steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it.

They will need Nix to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In pick No. 12 they get a long-term answer under center, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
They read the board right and Kamren Kinchens was the payoff at the Round 3 slot. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick121 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in the 121st overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick136 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at slot 136 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick145 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
By-the-book stuff, Mason McCormick at pick 145 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick147 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
The board had cheaper options than Brennan Jackson at Round 5, Pick 11, and it noticed. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick203 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Taking Kamal Hadden in No. 203 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
