FutureD-
Quarterback settled, Nix in the fold, and a B- for the Broncos. They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Bo Nix is the Broncos' quarterback, full stop. No fireworks, but a solid B-.
That Simpson pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The cost of the Glaze reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Bo Nix
Value said wait; Bo Nix in pick No. 12 says they were not listening. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick76
Rnd3
T'Vondre Sweat
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing T'Vondre Sweat in the Round 3 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
A wild overpay on Tommy Eichenberg in the 112th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick121
Rnd4
Erick All
They paid up for Erick All at slot 121 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick131
Rnd4
Cam Hart
Cam Hart at pick 131 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick136
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in No. 136 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick142
Rnd5
McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at Round 5, Pick 6 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick145
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jordan Travis. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick150
Rnd5
Delmar Glaze
They talked themselves into Delmar Glaze at No. 150, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick155
Rnd5
Javion Cohen
This one needs a full-page explanation: Javion Cohen in slot 155, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick157
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
They will replay Malik Mustapha at pick No. 157 for years; that is how good the value is. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick159
Rnd5
Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in Round 5, Pick 23 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick167
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
They read the board right and Luke McCaffrey was the payoff at the 167th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170
Rnd5
Myles Cole
A tidy bit of business in the Round 5 slot, where Myles Cole graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick188
Rnd6
Walter Rouse
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Walter Rouse in the 188th pick, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick189
Rnd6
Josh Newton
Circle this one: Josh Newton at pick 189 is a fall that decides a draft. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick190
Rnd6
Jordan Magee
A linebacker of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick194
Rnd6
Joe Milton III
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Joe Milton III well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick197
Rnd6
Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube at pick No. 197 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick203
Rnd6
Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas at the 203rd overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick207
Rnd6
Jaylin Simpson
Steal is underselling it; Jaylin Simpson at pick 207 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick208
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at No. 208 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick209
Rnd6
Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio in slot 209 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick213
Rnd6
Justin Rogers
They went early on Justin Rogers in Round 6, Pick 38, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick214
Rnd6
Eric Watts
Eric Watts in slot 214 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick217
Rnd6
Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson in No. 217 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick221
Rnd7
Rasheen Ali
Somehow Rasheen Ali was still sitting there in pick No. 221, and they pounced on premier running back value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick224
Rnd7
Kalen King
The board fumbled Kalen King all the way to Round 7, Pick 4, and they scooped it up. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick230
Rnd7
Trajan Jeffcoat
A big swing on Trajan Jeffcoat at the 230th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick237
Rnd7
Darius Muasau
Darius Muasau slid further than he should have, and pick 237 is lovely value for the linebacker. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick238
Rnd7
Brevyn Spann-Ford
A real head-scratcher, Brevyn Spann-Ford in the 238th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick240
Rnd7
Jase McClellan
You do not let a running back like Jase McClellan reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
