Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
The Broncos drew a line under the quarterback search with Nix: B+.

The Broncos spent the pick that matters most on Bo Nix, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

On value alone, Latham makes the weekend a net positive. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

Spending an early pick on DT-EDGE with wide receiver open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In pick 23 they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Pick48 Rnd2 JC Latham
Circle this one: JC Latham at pick No. 48 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Maason Smith
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went DT-EDGE with Maason Smith while clear needs at wide receiver sat open.
Pick114 Rnd4 DJ James
They paid sticker price for DJ James in No. 114, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick115 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darius Robinson. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight at the 122nd overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick146 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
They took Theo Johnson at par in the 146th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan slid further than he should have, and the Round 7 slot is lovely value for the running back. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick237 Rnd7 Zion Logue
Zion Logue at pick 237 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Ja'Had Carter
By-the-book stuff, Ja'Had Carter at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
