Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
Daniels is the Broncos' new face under center. Grade: D.

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

The whole projection now runs through Jayden Daniels; hit there and everything else looks smarter. Reaching for Logan Jr. left real value on the table behind him. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The Roberts value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and linebacker is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In pick No. 9 they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick100 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at pick 100 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
A tidy bit of business in the 133rd pick, where Jalen McMillan graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick151 Rnd5 Theo Wease
Theo Wease in No. 151 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick235 Rnd7 Willie Roberts
Willie Roberts in slot 235 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick242 Rnd7 Kenny Logan Jr.
They reached a country mile for Kenny Logan Jr. at the 242nd overall pick, and the board is aghast. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
