Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA FutureD
Maye is the plan now, and the Broncos grade out a B-.

Nobody else had Jaylen Key anywhere near Round 7, Pick 11. The Broncos did, by 95 spots, and that gap is the whole story. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They have staked the next five years on Drake Maye, which is the only story that really matters here. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the 6th pick they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jaylen Wright in pick No. 76. It fills a real need, too.
Pick121 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cedric Gray at the Round 4 slot is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick136 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
No edge and no loss on Roger Rosengarten in slot 136; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick145 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
No drama and no debate, Luke McCaffrey went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 9. The roster fit checks out.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jordan Jefferson well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick203 Rnd6 Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick231 Rnd7 Jaylen Key
They talked themselves into Jaylen Key at No. 231, and the board did not agree. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick240 Rnd7 Decamerion Richardson
Decamerion Richardson at pick No. 240 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor need, but a need all the same.
