Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesD+ FutureA
Quarterback settled, Nix in the fold, and a B- for the Broncos.

The Broncos spent the pick that matters most on Bo Nix, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

Every board in the league had Johnson lower, and that gap is the story. The Devonshire pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In the Round 1 slot they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in pick No. 76 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick92 Rnd3 Theo Johnson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Theo Johnson in Round 3, Pick 29, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick94 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves at No. 94 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jarvis Brownlee Jr. in pick 121. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick136 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
A conviction pick on Luke McCaffrey at the 136th pick that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick145 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
They paid sticker price for Tommy Eichenberg in the 145th overall pick, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick147 Rnd5 Xavier Thomas
They went early on Xavier Thomas in slot 147, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick203 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
A straight-up fair deal on Kendall Milton at pick 203, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick207 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
They took Caedan Wallace at par in slot 207, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick220 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
You do not let a cornerback like M.J. Devonshire reach Round 6, Pick 45 and blink. They did not. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
