Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
A franchise passer in Nix headlines a B+ weekend for the Broncos.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Bo Nix is the Broncos' quarterback, full stop. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. On value alone, Washington makes the weekend a net positive. If Hall Jr. pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at the 49th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick73 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. in No. 73 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Cade Stover at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
They took Bucky Irving at par in pick 87, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick95 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in pick No. 95 is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick121 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in the 121st pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
No edge and no loss on Jarrian Jones in slot 136; it is a wash and a sensible one. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick145 Rnd5 Isaiah Adams
Good price on Isaiah Adams in No. 145, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick147 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
They paid up for Brennan Jackson at the Round 5 slot when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick176 Rnd6 Javion Cohen
A clean, defensible pick in the 176th pick with a little surplus value in Javion Cohen. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick203 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tahj Washington at pick No. 203 is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
