Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureC
The Broncos bet the future on Maye. The board says B.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Drake Maye is the Broncos' quarterback, full stop. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Guerendo. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

Every board in the league had Stover lower, and that gap is the story. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the 12th overall pick they get their quarterback of the future at fair value.
Pick65 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Cade Stover in the Round 3 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at slot 76 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick121 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Johnny Wilson at pick 121, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick145 Rnd5 Isaac Guerendo
Value with a capital V on Isaac Guerendo in the 145th pick, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick147 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nothing to complain about; Nehemiah Pritchett went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick203 Rnd6 Logan Lee
Logan Lee at pick No. 203 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick207 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at No. 207 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
