Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Nix, and a B-, for the Broncos.

The search is over. The Broncos handed the keys to Bo Nix, and the whole operation now runs on his development. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

McGlothern has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Landing Zinter that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They will answer for taking TE-EDGE early while linebacker, edge rusher and other spots went begging.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term answer under center, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran at Round 3, Pick 12 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick114 Rnd4 Cade Stover
They bypassed pressing needs at linebacker, edge rusher and other spots to take Cade Stover, a TE-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick122 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
The board fumbled Zak Zinter all the way to No. 122, and they scooped it up. The roster fit checks out.
Pick146 Rnd5 Logan Lee
A premium they did not need to pay, Logan Lee a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick230 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at the 230th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick237 Rnd7 Walter Rouse
A big swing on Walter Rouse at pick No. 237, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
