Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB+
The Broncos bet the future on Daniels. The board says D+.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Broncos did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. A D+ that will need time and luck to look better.

The whole projection now runs through Jayden Daniels; hit there and everything else looks smarter. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Reaching for Eboigbe left real value on the table behind him.

Getting Franklin where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 12th pick they get the face of the franchise at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They let Jeremiah Trotter Jr. come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick113 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at slot 113 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Cam Hart
They took Cam Hart at par in pick No. 135, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick184 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
They read the board right and Nathan Thomas was the payoff at Round 6, Pick 9. It fills a real need, too.
Pick233 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Nice patience on Brevyn Spann-Ford, who had no business lasting to No. 233. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick241 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
Somehow Taulia Tagovailoa was still sitting there in pick 241, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick250 Rnd7 Zakhari Franklin
Zakhari Franklin at the 250th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
