Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureD
Nix is the Broncos' new face under center. Grade: C+.

The Broncos went off the board in a big way for Kenny Logan Jr., 93 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

Bo Nix is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

Hit on Bo Nix and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In pick No. 12 they get the face of the franchise, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick52 Rnd2 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk at No. 52 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at the 76th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick99 Rnd3 Ray Davis
Ray Davis in Round 3, Pick 36 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jared Wiley
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jared Wiley this early at the 121st overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick136 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They liked Tommy Eichenberg enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 136. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick145 Rnd5 Kalen King
They did well to land Kalen King in pick No. 145, just ahead of his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick147 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
A big swing on Tanor Bortolini at the 147th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick203 Rnd6 Kenny Logan Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Kenny Logan Jr. in Round 6, Pick 28 is miles ahead of his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick207 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
A premium they did not need to pay, Gabe Hall a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick256 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
This one needs a full-page explanation: J.J. Weaver in the Round 7 slot, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
