Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos left with their quarterback, and a B to match.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Broncos spent their marquee pick on Michael Penix Jr., and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

All has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They banked enough surplus on Abrams-Draine to cover a lot of smaller sins. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
Michael Penix Jr. at slot 12 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jordan Morgan
Somehow Jordan Morgan was still sitting there in pick No. 76, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Javon Baker
A wide receiver of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick136 Rnd4 Kris Abrams-Draine
They will replay Kris Abrams-Draine at No. 136 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick145 Rnd5 Erick All
A real head-scratcher, Erick All in pick 145 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at the 147th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick203 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Steal is underselling it; Ty'Ron Hopper at Round 6, Pick 28 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick207 Rnd6 Trente Jones
A slide stopped in the 207th overall pick, with Trente Jones worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
