The Broncos bet the future on Maye. The board says A. The Broncos spent the pick that matters most on Drake Maye, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. Just about everything broke right, and the A follows.
On value alone, Mitchell makes the weekend a net positive. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
With edge rusher unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Drake Maye and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Drake Maye
In slot 18 they get a franchise quarterback, and a steal at that.
Pick23
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In the 23rd overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. More want than need.
Pick76
Rnd3
Adonai Mitchell
They will replay Adonai Mitchell at Round 3, Pick 12 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick91
Rnd3
Ja'Lynn Polk
Somehow Ja'Lynn Polk was still sitting there in pick 91, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick115
Rnd4
Mike Sainristil
A surprising call. With edge rusher still to address, they spent No. 115 on Mike Sainristil, a cornerback they were not short of.
Pick117
Rnd4
Maason Smith
Maason Smith at pick No. 117 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick121
Rnd4
MarShawn Lloyd
A running back of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick129
Rnd4
Blake Fisher
Nice patience on Blake Fisher, who had no business lasting to the 129th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick136
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson slipping to pick 136 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick145
Rnd5
Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at Round 5, Pick 9 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick153
Rnd5
Roger Rosengarten
You do not let an offensive lineman like Roger Rosengarten reach No. 153 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick180
Rnd6
Tommy Eichenberg
Taking Tommy Eichenberg in pick No. 180 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick203
Rnd6
Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick207
Rnd6
Malik Mustapha
Circle this one: Malik Mustapha at the 207th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick212
Rnd6
Steele Chambers
A quiet steal in the 212th pick: Steele Chambers for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick219
Rnd6
Joe Milton III
Steal is underselling it; Joe Milton III at slot 219 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick230
Rnd7
Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in pick No. 230 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
