Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos drew a line under the quarterback search with Nix: B-.

The Broncos spent the pick that matters most on Bo Nix, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

The Leary reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Getting Suamataia where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Bo Nix
Bo Nix in pick No. 12 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
They barely believed it either: Kingsley Suamataia still on the board at the 76th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in No. 122 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick144 Rnd5 Kalen King
Fair-plus on Kalen King, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick146 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
They paid a round early for Dallin Holker in Round 5, Pick 10, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick237 Rnd7 Devin Leary
A wild overpay on Devin Leary in pick 237, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
