Draft Grade — Broncos

The Broncos drew a line under the quarterback search with Daniels: D+. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Javon Foster, the Round 6 slot, roughly 86 picks past where he belonged. The process wobbled, and the D+ is where it lands.
The cost of the Harrell reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Jayden Daniels is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.
They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, interior defensive lineman very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
In No. 4 they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick9
Rnd1
Marvin Harrison Jr.
In pick 9 they get a weapon on the perimeter, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick31
Rnd1
Tyler Nubin
In pick No. 31 they get a centerfielder for the defense at fair value. More want than need.
Pick43
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell slid further than he should have, and slot 43 is lovely value for the wide receiver. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick63
Rnd2
Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in pick 63 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick108
Rnd4
Bucky Irving
A quiet steal in the Round 4 slot: Bucky Irving for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick144
Rnd5
Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at Round 5, Pick 8 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick169
Rnd5
Jaylen Harrell
They reached into another round for Jaylen Harrell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick174
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Luke McCaffrey in the 174th pick, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick192
Rnd6
Chau Smith-Wade
A cornerback of that caliber at No. 192 is the definition of value, full stop. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick199
Rnd6
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten in No. 199 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick210
Rnd6
Tommy Eichenberg
Taking Tommy Eichenberg in the 210th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick215
Rnd6
Javon Foster
They barely believed it either: Javon Foster still on the board at the Round 6 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick237
Rnd7
AJ Barner
AJ Barner in pick No. 237 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick249
Rnd7
Sheridan Jones
They read the board right and Sheridan Jones was the payoff at slot 249. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
