Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos left with their quarterback, and a B- to match.

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.

For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain. They are betting Johnson proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In pick 12 they get a long-term answer under center, even if it was a touch early.
Pick76 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They paid sticker price for Payton Wilson in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick113 Rnd4 Kamal Hadden
They jumped the gun on Kamal Hadden, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick122 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Theo Johnson this early at slot 122. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick149 Rnd5 Cedric Johnson
Cedric Johnson at the 149th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick233 Rnd7 Miles Frazier
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Miles Frazier. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick241 Rnd7 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse in pick No. 241 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
