Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC+ FutureB
The Broncos answered their biggest question with Nix. Grade: B.

The Broncos spent the pick that matters most on Bo Nix, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

On value alone, McGlothern makes the weekend a net positive. The Lovett pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In slot 22 they get the arm they will build around, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick50 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Taking Brian Thomas Jr. in the 50th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in pick 76 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick121 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at pick No. 121 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick136 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Javon Foster is a better player than the Round 4 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick145 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
No drama and no debate, Mason McCormick went about where he belonged in No. 145. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick147 Rnd5 Fabien Lovett
A real head-scratcher, Fabien Lovett in Round 5, Pick 11 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick203 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in the 203rd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick220 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
A linebacker of that caliber at pick 220 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick246 Rnd7 Myles Harden
They barely believed it either: Myles Harden still on the board at slot 246. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
