Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall F
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureD+
The Broncos drew a line under the quarterback search with Maye: F.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Broncos shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill.

Everything downstream of Drake Maye depends on Drake Maye, and the building knows it. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Mayes. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left interior defensive lineman open, and the grade is the bill.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Drake Maye
Drake Maye at No. 5 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick18 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In pick 18 they get a potential shutdown corner. Need was not the driver here.
Pick79 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Brenden Rice in Round 3, Pick 15. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick103 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
A tidy little value on Tykee Smith in the 103rd pick, a step better than break-even. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick113 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
A tidy bit of business in slot 113, where Dominick Puni graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick121 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
They took Justin Eboigbe at par in the 121st overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick220 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
Steal is underselling it; Isaiah Williams at pick No. 220 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick255 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
They did well to land Eric Gentry in the Round 7 slot, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick256 Rnd7 BJ Mayes
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, BJ Mayes in pick 256, plain and simple. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
