Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureC
The Broncos answered their biggest question with Nix. Grade: D-.

The phones were a trap the Broncos kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.

Bo Nix gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

The Nix reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. However the rest shakes out, Hall Jr. at that price is a win they earned.

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 overall pick they get a franchise quarterback, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
They took Ladd McConkey at par in Round 2, Pick 7, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at pick 76 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick107 Rnd4 Michael Hall Jr.
Somehow Michael Hall Jr. was still sitting there in pick No. 107, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick113 Rnd4 Max Melton
A straight-up fair deal on Max Melton at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick122 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darius Robinson. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Keith Randolph Jr. at slot 149 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick185 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
Value with a capital V on Nathan Thomas in No. 185, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick233 Rnd7 Mark Perry
Mark Perry in Round 7, Pick 13 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick255 Rnd7 Kurtis Rourke
You do not let a quarterback like Kurtis Rourke reach the 255th overall pick and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick256 Rnd7 Carson Steele
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 7 slot with a little surplus value in Carson Steele. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
