Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureA
The Broncos finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B+.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Broncos shredded theirs for Zion Logue. He came off 83 spots early, and the room will hear about it. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

J.J. McCarthy is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 JC Latham
In slot 16 they get a blindside protector at fair value.
Pick25 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In the 25th pick they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell slid further than he should have, and pick 42 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick76 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
They barely believed it either: T.J. Tampa still on the board at pick No. 76. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick107 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at the Round 4 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick126 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in Round 4, Pick 26 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick127 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in pick 127 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick136 Rnd4 AJ Barner
AJ Barner at the 136th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick145 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
No edge and no loss on Tommy Eichenberg in No. 145; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at pick No. 147 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick161 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Ainias Smith in slot 161, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick169 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at the 169th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
The board fumbled Jaylin Simpson all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick179 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
A safety of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 4 is the definition of value, full stop. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick203 Rnd6 Zion Logue
Zion Logue in pick 203 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
