Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Penix Jr. in the fold, and a B- for the Broncos.

The Broncos spent the pick that matters most on Michael Penix Jr., and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped linebacker, which is a strange place to end up. The Sinnott pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with tight end the one that mattered most.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In pick 12 they get the face of the franchise at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cooper Beebe. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick113 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
No edge and no loss on MarShawn Lloyd in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick122 Rnd4 Malik Washington
They did well to land Malik Washington in slot 122, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick149 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott slid further than he should have, and the 149th overall pick is lovely value for the tight end. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
