Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Broncos answered their biggest question with Nix. Grade: B+.

The Matthew Jones selection is the head-turner. The Broncos reached 61 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

So much rides on Bo Nix that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In the 27th overall pick they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick66 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in Round 3, Pick 2 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick70 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick88 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
A big swing on Leonard Taylor III at pick No. 88, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick121 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Johnny Wilson at the 121st pick, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Christian Jones
No drama and no debate, Christian Jones went about where he belonged in No. 126. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick145 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
No edge and no loss on Luke McCaffrey in Round 5, Pick 9; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Value with a capital V on Jarrian Jones in slot 147, a genuine coup. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick150 Rnd5 Ainias Smith
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ainias Smith in the Round 5 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick175 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
They read the board right and Dwight McGlothern was the payoff at No. 175. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick203 Rnd6 Tanner McLachlan
Tanner McLachlan at pick No. 203 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick207 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at pick 207 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick239 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
They robbed the room for JD Bertrand here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
