Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Penix Jr. in the fold, and a B for the Broncos.

The search is over. The Broncos handed the keys to Michael Penix Jr., and the whole operation now runs on his development. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They will need Capehart to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
Michael Penix Jr. in the 14th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick78 Rnd3 Blake Corum
By-the-book stuff, Blake Corum at slot 78 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick114 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in No. 114 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick129 Rnd4 Nelson Ceaser
A conviction pick on Nelson Ceaser at pick 129 that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
A clean, defensible pick in the 151st pick with a little surplus value in Jaylin Simpson. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick235 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing J.J. Weaver in the Round 7 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick244 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at pick No. 244 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
