Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Broncos drew a line under the quarterback search with Maye: D.

The phones were a trap the Broncos kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. Hard to defend, and the D reflects that.

Drake Maye is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it. On value alone, Smith-Wade makes the weekend a net positive.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In pick 8 they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
A tidy little value on Jarvis Brownlee Jr. in Round 4, Pick 22, a step better than break-even. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick144 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Nothing to complain about; Christian Jones went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick146 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
A slide stopped in slot 146, with Chau Smith-Wade worth more than the price. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick237 Rnd7 Andrew Raym
Andrew Raym at the 237th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
