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

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Michael Penix Jr. is the Broncos' quarterback, full stop.

Getting Logan Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The phones were where this weekend was really won. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In the 12th overall pick they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Value with a capital V on Keon Coleman in pick 38, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard slid further than he should have, and Round 3, Pick 12 is lovely value for the safety. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick106 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 106 with a little surplus value in Blake Fisher. It fills a real need, too.
Pick113 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in No. 113 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick122 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Good price on Mohamed Kamara in the Round 4 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick149 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
A straight-up fair deal on Ty'Ron Hopper at the 149th pick, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick228 Rnd7 Kenny Logan Jr.
You do not let a safety like Kenny Logan Jr. reach slot 228 and blink. They did not. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick233 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
They let Daequan Hardy come to them and pounced at No. 233. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick241 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
A slide stopped in the 241st pick, with Nathaniel Watson worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
