Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureC+
A passer of the future in Daniels, and a B-, for the Broncos.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Broncos committed. Jayden Daniels is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

However the rest shakes out, Jackson at that price is a win they earned. The linebacker hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The cost of the Walker reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but linebacker.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
Nothing to complain about; Jayden Daniels went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick60 Rnd2 Devontez Walker
They paid up for Devontez Walker at the 60th pick when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Khyree Jackson in Round 4, Pick 21, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick136 Rnd4 Trevor Keegan
A reach on Trevor Keegan in No. 136; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick145 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
No edge and no loss on Mason McCormick in the 145th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick147 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
They paid a round early for Brennan Jackson in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick203 Rnd6 Logan Lee
Logan Lee in slot 203 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
By-the-book stuff, Jared Wiley at pick No. 207 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
