Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall
D-

TradesF
FutureB-
The Broncos left with their quarterback, and a D- to match. The Broncos lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. Put together, it is a D-.
They are betting Lachey proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Bo Nix is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. The Pritchett pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman.
The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On value alone, Whittington makes the weekend a net positive.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Bo Nix
In pick No. 18 they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick35
Rnd2
Josh Newton
No edge and no loss on Josh Newton in the 35th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick50
Rnd2
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at Round 2, Pick 18 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick78
Rnd3
Luke Lachey
They reached a country mile for Luke Lachey at No. 78, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at pick 87 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick96
Rnd3
Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac at slot 96 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick103
Rnd4
Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at the Round 4 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick129
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer in the 129th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick133
Rnd4
Nehemiah Pritchett
A curious use of pick 133. Interior defensive lineman needed the pick; a cornerback in Nehemiah Pritchett did not.
Pick151
Rnd5
Sataoa Laumea
They read the board right and Sataoa Laumea was the payoff at pick No. 151. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick235
Rnd7
Jordan Whittington
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jordan Whittington in the 235th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick242
Rnd7
Jase McClellan
A premium they did not need to pay, Jase McClellan a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
