Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos bet the future on Penix Jr.. The board says B-.

The Broncos spent the pick that matters most on Michael Penix Jr., and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

They will need McGregor to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The Pearsall value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In the 12th pick they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall slid further than he should have, and pick 76 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick121 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Good price on Elijah Jones in slot 121, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick136 Rnd4 Xavier Thomas
Xavier Thomas in Round 4, Pick 36 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick145 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor at No. 145 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick147 Rnd5 Marcus Harris
They took Marcus Harris at par in the 147th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick203 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 203 with a little surplus value in Curtis Jacobs. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at the Round 6 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
