Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureC+
A franchise passer in Daniels headlines a D- weekend for the Broncos.

The Broncos lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

The whole projection now runs through Jayden Daniels; hit there and everything else looks smarter. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it. The Harris reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

However the rest shakes out, Goncalves at that price is a win they earned.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick12 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In slot 12 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick90 Rnd3 Gabriel Murphy
Gabriel Murphy at the 90th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick113 Rnd4 Marshawn Kneeland
No drama and no debate, Marshawn Kneeland went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick114 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
A tidy little value on Dominick Puni in pick No. 114, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick122 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton at No. 122 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick123 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
A quiet steal in pick 123: Matt Goncalves for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in the 149th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick155 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
They took Ty'Ron Hopper at par in slot 155, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick233 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
They went early on Taulia Tagovailoa in pick 233, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick237 Rnd7 David Ugwoegbu
A reach on David Ugwoegbu in No. 237; the board had better options right there. A fine player at a spot low on the priority list.
Pick241 Rnd7 Marcus Harris
The board had cheaper options than Marcus Harris at the Round 7 slot, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
