Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall F
ValueD NeedB- TradesF FutureF
A passer of the future in Nix, and a F, for the Broncos.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Armoni Goodwin at the 177th overall pick, a reach of 235 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. A weekend to file away and forget, and an F to match.

Bo Nix is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.

The Clark steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

There is no spinning it; the board won this weekend going away.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In the 12th overall pick they get the face of the franchise, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick28 Rnd1 Bucky Irving
In No. 28 they get a bell-cow for the offense, a steep price for the projection.
Pick32 Rnd1 Jackson Powers-Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick94 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in slot 94 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick95 Rnd3 Beau Brade
Beau Brade in the 95th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick98 Rnd3 Taulia Tagovailoa
A big swing on Taulia Tagovailoa at the 98th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick99 Rnd3 Delmar Glaze
This one needs a full-page explanation: Delmar Glaze in the Round 3 slot, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick100 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy in No. 100 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick121 Rnd4 Grayson Murphy
They left a pile of value on the table to take Grayson Murphy this early at pick 121. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Collin Schlee
A wild overpay on Collin Schlee in slot 128, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick131 Rnd4 Carson Steele
They reached into another round for Carson Steele, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick136 Rnd4 Darius Muasau
A real head-scratcher, Darius Muasau in Round 4, Pick 36 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick141 Rnd5 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio at pick No. 141 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick151 Rnd5 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
The board had cheaper options than Zion Tupuola-Fetui at slot 151, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick152 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Value said wait; Roger Rosengarten in No. 152 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick153 Rnd5 John Emery Jr.
John Emery Jr. in the 153rd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick162 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
They went early on Jordan Jefferson in the 162nd overall pick, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick165 Rnd5 Omar Speights
Omar Speights at pick No. 165 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick173 Rnd5 Josh Williams
Josh Williams in pick 173 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick177 Rnd6 Armoni Goodwin
Armoni Goodwin at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick181 Rnd6 Noah Cain
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Noah Cain well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick184 Rnd6 Chris Hilton Jr.
Chris Hilton Jr. at the 184th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick192 Rnd6 Charles Turner III
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Charles Turner III. The roster fit checks out.
Pick193 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett is a better player than slot 193 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick196 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
No drama and no debate, Jaylen Harrell went about where he belonged in pick No. 196. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick197 Rnd6 Braiden McGregor
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Braiden McGregor. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick200 Rnd6 Trevor Keegan
They talked themselves into Trevor Keegan at No. 200, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick202 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at Round 6, Pick 27 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick206 Rnd6 Evan Williams
They reached a country mile for Evan Williams at pick 206, and the board is aghast. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick209 Rnd6 Mase Funa
Mase Funa at the 209th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick213 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
Somehow Rasheen Ali was still sitting there in pick 213, and they pounced on premier running back value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick215 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
They barely believed it either: Isaiah Williams still on the board at slot 215. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick223 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, De'Corian Clark in pick No. 223, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick228 Rnd7 Myles Jones
Myles Jones in No. 228 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick229 Rnd7 Isaiah Neyor
They robbed the room for Isaiah Neyor here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan at the 230th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick233 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
Sheridan Jones at Round 7, Pick 13 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jontrey Hunter
You do not let a safety like Jontrey Hunter reach the 235th pick and blink. They did not. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick238 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Taking Brevyn Spann-Ford in Round 7, Pick 18 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick240 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
They will replay Daequan Hardy at slot 240 for years; that is how good the value is. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick249 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
Circle this one: Joshua Cephus at No. 249 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick252 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in pick 252 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick254 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
A tidy bit of business in the 254th overall pick, where Eric Gentry graded well above the range. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick255 Rnd7 Donovan Jennings
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Donovan Jennings at pick No. 255. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick256 Rnd7 Kedon Slovis
Kedon Slovis in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
