Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Broncos bet the future on Maye. The board says D-.

The phones were a trap the Broncos kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D- is the result.

Everything downstream of Drake Maye depends on Drake Maye, and the building knows it. The Schlee pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Jones falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

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 Drake Maye
In pick No. 12 they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick32 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In the 32nd pick they get a downhill hitter at safety at fair value. More want than need.
Pick64 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Value with a capital V on Graham Barton in No. 64, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick76 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro at Round 3, Pick 12 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick83 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
They jumped the gun on Bucky Irving, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick113 Rnd4 Max Melton
No edge and no loss on Max Melton in pick 113; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick121 Rnd4 Nelson Ceaser
A reasonable price with a little left over, Nelson Ceaser in the 121st overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey slipping to slot 149 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick218 Rnd6 Miyan Williams
A tidy bit of business in the 218th pick, where Miyan Williams graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick221 Rnd7 Christian Jones
Circle this one: Christian Jones at Round 7, Pick 1 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson at pick No. 233 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick255 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers in slot 255 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick256 Rnd7 Collin Schlee
Collin Schlee in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
