Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall F
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureD-
The Broncos bet the future on Maye. The board says F.

The Broncos put a flag in the ground for Miyan Williams, 35 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Everything downstream of Drake Maye depends on Drake Maye, and the building knows it. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up.

Smith falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with linebacker still staring back at them.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the 2nd pick they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
No edge and no loss on Xavier Legette in No. 76; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick122 Rnd4 Javon Foster
No drama and no debate, Javon Foster went about where he belonged in pick 122. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick134 Rnd4 Josh Newton
Josh Newton at slot 134 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick164 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith slipping to pick No. 164 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick177 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
A conviction pick on Jordan Jefferson at Round 6, Pick 2 that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick191 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
Value with a capital V on Caedan Wallace in the 191st pick, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick237 Rnd7 Miyan Williams
They talked themselves into Miyan Williams at the 237th overall pick, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
