Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos bet the future on Penix Jr.. The board says B-.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Michael Penix Jr. is the Broncos' quarterback, full stop.

Jackson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The Spann-Ford pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

A whole weekend of picks and linebacker is somehow still a want. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In No. 12 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A real need, handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Austin Booker
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Austin Booker. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick121 Rnd4 McKinnley Jackson
They paid sticker price for McKinnley Jackson in slot 121, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick136 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
They took Roger Rosengarten at par in pick 136, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones in Round 5, Pick 9 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick147 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
By-the-book stuff, Justin Eboigbe at the 147th pick squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick203 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford in the 203rd overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick207 Rnd6 Brennan Jackson
The board fumbled Brennan Jackson all the way to the Round 6 slot, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
