Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall

FutureB+
The Broncos worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. The Broncos ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.
The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Bell has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The DeForest Buckner deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.
Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick36
Rnd2
Bo Nix
Bo Nix at Round 2, Pick 4 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick122
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in pick 122 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick144
Rnd5
Xavier Thomas
They jumped the gun on Xavier Thomas, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick146
Rnd5
Jaheim Bell
A premium they did not need to pay, Jaheim Bell a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick237
Rnd7
KT Leveston
No edge and no loss on KT Leveston in No. 237; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
