Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Maye, and a B, for the Broncos.

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

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In pick No. 12 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick83 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 19, where Ja'Lynn Polk graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick121 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
They did well to land Blake Fisher in the 121st pick, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick136 Rnd4 Josh Newton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Josh Newton at No. 136 is the proof. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
By-the-book stuff, Jalyx Hunt at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Marcus Harris
A straight-up fair deal on Marcus Harris at pick 147, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick203 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All in the 203rd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick207 Rnd6 Logan Lee
They took Logan Lee at par in slot 207, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick213 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
No edge and no loss on Caedan Wallace in slot 213; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick217 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson at pick 217 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick229 Rnd7 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
