Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nix is the plan now, and the Broncos grade out a B-.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Bo Nix is the Broncos' quarterback, full stop.

The McGlothern pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Rouse has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

The Stover pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman, tight end and other spots. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Bo Nix
A premium they did not need to pay, Bo Nix a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at the 76th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick113 Rnd4 Cade Stover
A want over a need in pick 113: Cade Stover adds a TE-EDGE while interior defensive lineman, tight end and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cooper Beebe
Nice patience on Cooper Beebe, who had no business lasting to the 124th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick149 Rnd5 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in Round 5, Pick 13 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick233 Rnd7 Walter Rouse
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Walter Rouse. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick243 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at slot 243 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor itch, scratched.
