Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureC
The Broncos left with their quarterback, and a D- to match.

Somebody took the Broncos to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. Put together, it is a D-.

The whole projection now runs through Bo Nix; hit there and everything else looks smarter. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Reaching for Nix left real value on the table behind him. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Rourke.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In the 12th pick they get a franchise quarterback, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at pick 76 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick91 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
No edge and no loss on Bucky Irving in slot 91; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick113 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
They will replay Tyler Davis at pick No. 113 for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick122 Rnd4 Max Melton
A tidy bit of business in Round 4, Pick 22, where Max Melton graded well above the range. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick128 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at the 128th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaylin Simpson. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick255 Rnd7 Derek Wingo
No drama and no debate, Derek Wingo went about where he belonged in No. 255. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick256 Rnd7 Kurtis Rourke
Kurtis Rourke at the Round 7 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
