Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB+
The Broncos left with their quarterback, and a D to match.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Broncos spent the 146th pick on Keith Randolph Jr., a name the board had a full 59 spots lower. Put together, it is a D.

They have staked the next five years on Michael Penix Jr., which is the only story that really matters here. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Melton falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
Marvin Harrison Jr. in the Round 1 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick5 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In the 5th overall pick they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss in pick No. 76 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick122 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Value with a capital V on Matt Goncalves in pick 122, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick127 Rnd4 Max Melton
A cornerback of that caliber at the 127th pick is the definition of value, full stop. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick144 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
Zion Tupuola-Fetui in slot 144 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick146 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
They talked themselves into Keith Randolph Jr. at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick216 Rnd6 Eyabi Okie-Anoma
They reached a country mile for Eyabi Okie-Anoma at pick 216, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick223 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
A slide stopped in the 223rd pick, with Nathaniel Watson worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick237 Rnd7 KT Leveston
KT Leveston at Round 7, Pick 17 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
