Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA
Daniels is the plan now, and the Broncos grade out a D+.

Somebody took the Broncos to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D+ is the result.

The whole projection now runs through Jayden Daniels; hit there and everything else looks smarter. They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

However the rest shakes out, Hardy at that price is a win they earned. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan at slot 76 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick113 Rnd4 Beau Brade
Beau Brade at pick No. 113 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick121 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
No drama and no debate, Justin Eboigbe went about where he belonged in the 121st pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick149 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at No. 149 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick233 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
Daequan Hardy at the 233rd overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick240 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
Donovan Jennings in the Round 7 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
