Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesC FutureB-
Nix is the plan now, and the Broncos grade out a B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Matthew Jones at the Round 6 slot, a reach of 64 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

Bo Nix is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. The Johnson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Bo Nix
Bo Nix at the 17th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Cade Stover
No edge and no loss on Cade Stover in pick 76; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick96 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christian Mahogany. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick121 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
They went early on Mohamed Kamara in the Round 4 slot, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick136 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
A slide stopped in No. 136, with Theo Johnson worth more than the price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jarrian Jones in Round 5, Pick 9. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick147 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
By-the-book stuff, Tommy Eichenberg at pick No. 147 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick153 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt at Round 5, Pick 17 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell in the 203rd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick207 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
A real head-scratcher, Matthew Jones in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
