Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall F
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureD
Maye is the Broncos' new face under center. Grade: F.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Zion Logue in the Round 7 slot, a good 52 spots before the room expected him.

So much rides on Drake Maye that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. McCaffrey at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.

About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with running back still staring back at them.

Pick Analysis
Pick6 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In pick 6 they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick65 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kingsley Suamataia at No. 65 is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick76 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
A premium they did not need to pay, Marshawn Kneeland a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick122 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They liked Ben Sinnott enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 122. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick144 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
A tidy bit of business in the Round 5 slot, where Chau Smith-Wade graded well above the range. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick146 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Nothing to complain about; Tommy Eichenberg went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick180 Rnd6 Luke McCaffrey
Nice patience on Luke McCaffrey, who had no business lasting to Round 6, Pick 5. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick237 Rnd7 Zion Logue
They talked themselves into Zion Logue at the 237th overall pick, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
