Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
A passer of the future in Nix, and a B+, for the Broncos.

The war room fell hard for Matthew Jones, and it showed at the Round 6 slot: 68 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

Whatever Bo Nix becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

Landing Rice that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In slot 28 they get a franchise quarterback at fair value.
Pick76 Rnd3 Devontez Walker
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Devontez Walker in pick No. 76. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick83 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick109 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
This one needs a full-page explanation: Isaac Guerendo in pick 109, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick121 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
They will replay Brenden Rice at the 121st pick for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick136 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Value with a capital V on Theo Johnson in Round 4, Pick 36, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick145 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tommy Eichenberg. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick147 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy at slot 147 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick154 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Good price on Luke McCaffrey in the Round 5 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick197 Rnd6 Logan Lee
Logan Lee in pick No. 197 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick203 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
Value said wait; Matthew Jones in the 203rd overall pick says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick207 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon slid further than he should have, and the 207th pick is lovely value for the cornerback. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
