Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Broncos left with their quarterback, and a B+ to match.

Start where it matters. The Broncos took Bo Nix to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They will need Harris Jr. to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The Cooper pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In the 20th overall pick they get their guy under center for the next decade. A real need, handled.
Pick52 Rnd2 T.J. Tampa
A tidy little value on T.J. Tampa in pick 52, a step better than break-even. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick76 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
Nice patience on Edgerrin Cooper, who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 12. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick98 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at No. 98 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick120 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
A quiet steal in the Round 4 slot: Blake Fisher for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick124 Rnd4 Junior Colson
A tidy bit of business in the 124th pick, where Junior Colson graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick233 Rnd7 Donell Harris Jr.
They reached a country mile for Donell Harris Jr. at pick No. 233, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick243 Rnd7 Derek Wingo
They left a pile of value on the table to take Derek Wingo this early at slot 243. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
