Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureB
A passer of the future in Maye, and a B-, for the Broncos.

The Aaron Lewis pick is the one that will follow the Broncos into the fall. They took him 67 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They have staked the next five years on Drake Maye, which is the only story that really matters here. The Simpson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In No. 12 they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Pick101 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, TreVeyon Henderson at the 101st pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick113 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Fair-plus on Blake Fisher, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jaden Hicks
Somehow Jaden Hicks was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier safety value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in Round 6, Pick 14 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick201 Rnd6 Donell Harris Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Donell Harris Jr.. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick222 Rnd7 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs in slot 222 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick233 Rnd7 Aaron Lewis
Aaron Lewis at the 233rd pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick241 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
The board fumbled Dwight McGlothern all the way to No. 241, and they scooped it up. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
