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

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Broncos took Jermayne Lole a full 64 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

Everything downstream of Michael Penix Jr. depends on Michael Penix Jr., and the building knows it. The Rice steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with interior defensive lineman chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In the 12th overall pick they get their guy under center for the next decade. A real need, handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
Steal is underselling it; T.J. Tampa at pick No. 76 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick113 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
The board fumbled Brenden Rice all the way to No. 113, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick121 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
They barely believed it either: Blake Fisher still on the board at slot 121. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jaheim Bell in pick 149. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick233 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
Evan Anderson at Round 7, Pick 13 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jermayne Lole
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jermayne Lole this early at the Round 7 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
