Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos drew a line under the quarterback search with Nix: B-.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Broncos spent their marquee pick on Bo Nix, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Jackson. If Johnson pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get the face of the franchise, though they paid up to get him. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 Cade Stover
No edge and no loss on Cade Stover in the 76th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick117 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
They paid up for Isaac Guerendo at pick 117 when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
A conviction pick on Jarrian Jones at slot 121 that the board grades a round light. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick136 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
A premium they did not need to pay, Justin Eboigbe a notch or two before his time. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick147 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
They paid a round early for Brennan Jackson in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick156 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tykee Smith. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
They will replay Jha'Quan Jackson at No. 203 for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick206 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
A reach on JD Bertrand in the 206th overall pick; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick207 Rnd6 Cedric Johnson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cedric Johnson. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick243 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at pick No. 243 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
