Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Broncos drew a line under the quarterback search with Nix: D+.

The phones were a trap the Broncos kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.

The whole projection now runs through Bo Nix; hit there and everything else looks smarter. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The veteran additions, Colby Parkinson chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In the 27th pick they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick31 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In pick No. 31 they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Braden Fiske at the 60th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick121 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
A reasonable price with a little left over, Elijah Jones in Round 4, Pick 21. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jaylin Simpson at slot 145 is the proof. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick203 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers in pick 203 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
