Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB+ FutureA
The Broncos finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B.

The Broncos bet big and early on Easton Gibbs, 80 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Bo Nix is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. The James steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In pick 26 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 DJ James
DJ James in slot 76 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick97 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson slipping to Round 3, Pick 34 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick121 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A straight-up fair deal on Javon Foster at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick136 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Johnny Wilson at No. 136 is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick145 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
A wild overpay on Marist Liufau in pick No. 145, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick147 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at pick 147 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick159 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They read the board right and Luke McCaffrey was the payoff at the 159th pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick200 Rnd6 Erick All
They took Erick All at par in Round 6, Pick 25, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick203 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Value with a capital V on Cornelius Johnson in pick No. 203, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Pick207 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
Nothing to complain about; Kendall Milton went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick248 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
A big swing on Evan Anderson at slot 248, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick252 Rnd7 Easton Gibbs
Easton Gibbs in No. 252 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
