Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Broncos finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B.

There is reaching, and then there is DeMonte Capehart at slot 196. The Broncos jumped the board by 79 and dared it to prove them wrong. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Bo Nix gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Getting Jones where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Bo Nix
Bo Nix in the Round 1 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick49 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
No edge and no loss on Patrick Paul in the 49th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick76 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at slot 76 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick113 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in pick 113 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick121 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
They reached into another round for Ben Sinnott, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick149 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
They took Keith Randolph Jr. at par in No. 149, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick196 Rnd6 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick233 Rnd7 Myles Jones
Myles Jones at pick 233 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
