Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueD NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Broncos finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B-.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Broncos did exactly that with DeMonte Capehart in the 196th pick. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The whole projection now runs through Bo Nix; hit there and everything else looks smarter. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

With edge rusher, running back and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on OLB-EDGE is the choice that costs them. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In the 18th pick they get their guy under center for the next decade. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Javon Solomon
A curious use of Round 2, Pick 17. Edge rusher, running back and other spots needed the pick; an OLB-EDGE in Javon Solomon did not.
Pick76 Rnd3 Javon Foster
This one needs a full-page explanation: Javon Foster in pick 76, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
They talked themselves into Jaheim Bell at slot 113, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick122 Rnd4 Andrew Coker
A real head-scratcher, Andrew Coker in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at the 149th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick196 Rnd6 DeMonte Capehart
A swing that ignored the value entirely, DeMonte Capehart well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick241 Rnd7 Zy Alexander
A wild overpay on Zy Alexander in the 241st pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
