Walkstar DRAFTING FOR THEBroncos

Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall

FutureB
The Broncos bet the future on Nix. The board says B+. The Broncos spent the pick that matters most on Bo Nix, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.
The Thomas pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They are betting Pratt proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Bo Nix
In the Round 1 slot they get the face of the franchise, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick51
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette slid further than he should have, and Round 2, Pick 19 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76
Rnd3
Jonah Elliss
They jumped the gun on Jonah Elliss, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick84
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
By-the-book stuff, Dominick Puni at slot 84 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick120
Rnd4
McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in the 120th pick is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick121
Rnd4
Michael Pratt
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Michael Pratt well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick136
Rnd4
James Williams
James Williams in pick No. 136 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick145
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
They paid sticker price for Luke McCaffrey in pick 145, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick147
Rnd5
Dallin Holker
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dallin Holker. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick203
Rnd6
Xavier Thomas
The board fumbled Xavier Thomas all the way to slot 203, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick207
Rnd6
Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan at pick 207 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
