Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
The Broncos found their guy under center in Nix: D+.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Broncos, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. The process wobbled, and the D+ is where it lands.

They have staked the next five years on Bo Nix, which is the only story that really matters here. The Hart pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots. They will regret leaving interior defensive lineman for another day if the season turns on it.

That McCoy pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They will need Sinnott to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 12th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick23 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In pick No. 23 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick55 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
They did well to land Kris Jenkins in the 55th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
They paid sticker price for Brenden Rice in slot 76, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick113 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
No edge and no loss on Khyree Jackson in No. 113; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick124 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Cam Hart adds a cornerback and leaves interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots untouched.
Pick149 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
A reach on Ben Sinnott in pick 149; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick233 Rnd7 Bru McCoy
Bru McCoy in Round 7, Pick 13 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick243 Rnd7 Jason Henderson
Jason Henderson at pick 243 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
