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

Somebody took the Broncos to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it.

Whatever Bo Nix becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The Hopper reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. That Williams pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a passer to set the clock by, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They went early on Xavier Worthy in No. 40, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
They read the board right and Patrick Paul was the payoff at pick 76. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick120 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo slid further than he should have, and slot 120 is lovely value for the running back. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jarrian Jones. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick153 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick154 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ty'Ron Hopper in the 154th pick, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick155 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor at the 155th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick166 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
A tidy bit of business in slot 166, where Dallin Holker graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick202 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
M.J. Devonshire in the 202nd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick205 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
They took Drake Nugent at par in Round 6, Pick 30, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick206 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at the 206th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick224 Rnd7 Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick239 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
Sheridan Jones in No. 239 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
