FutureC
The Broncos found their guy under center in Maye: D-. You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Broncos did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.
Whatever Drake Maye becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it.
The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.
The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Drake Maye
Drake Maye at the 5th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick17
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
No edge and no loss on Byron Murphy II in pick 17; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick24
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 24th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value.
Pick51
Rnd2
T.J. Tampa
T.J. Tampa in slot 51 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
