Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Broncos bet the future on Nix. The board says B.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Broncos committed. Bo Nix is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Richardson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Every board in the league had Greenfield lower, and that gap is the story.

Linebacker is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In pick No. 20 they get their quarterback of the future, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick53 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
They paid sticker price for Adisa Isaac in No. 53, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick76 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
Blake Fisher at Round 3, Pick 12 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the Round 3 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick120 Rnd4 DeWayne Carter
Quietly one of the better values of the day, DeWayne Carter at pick 120. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick121 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brenden Rice. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick136 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
They paid up for Mason McCormick at slot 136 when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick145 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at the 145th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick147 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
A reach for Isaiah Davis in the Round 5 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick171 Rnd5 AJ Barner
AJ Barner at the 171st overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick178 Rnd6 James Williams
A tidy little value on James Williams in pick No. 178, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick203 Rnd6 Decamerion Richardson
Steal is underselling it; Decamerion Richardson at Round 6, Pick 28 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick207 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield in the 207th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
