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

Somebody took the Broncos to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. A F, plain and simple.

Everything downstream of Drake Maye depends on Drake Maye, and the building knows it. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. Reaching for Steele left real value on the table behind him.

The Polk pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the 7th pick they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Guyton at pick No. 36 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A tidy bit of business in the 59th overall pick, where Jackson Powers-Johnson graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick60 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at No. 60 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick76 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Somehow Ja'Lynn Polk was still sitting there in pick 76, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick114 Rnd4 Beau Brade
Nothing to complain about; Beau Brade went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick121 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Leonard Taylor III in Round 4, Pick 21. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick162 Rnd5 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They let Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint come to them and pounced at slot 162. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick164 Rnd5 Chau Smith-Wade
They paid sticker price for Chau Smith-Wade in the 164th pick, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick195 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in slot 195 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick233 Rnd7 Jaden Crumedy
Jaden Crumedy at the 233rd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick240 Rnd7 Aaron Frost
A premium they did not need to pay, Aaron Frost a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick248 Rnd7 Carson Steele
Carson Steele in pick 248 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
