Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Broncos a A-.

Some picks age like wine; Trajan Jeffcoat at No. 240 will need to, sitting 68 spots clear of his grade.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

Bottom line, with Bo Nix leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick34 Rnd2 Bo Nix
Good price on Bo Nix in No. 34, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick73 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
Nothing to complain about; Kiran Amegadjie went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. in pick 76 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick83 Rnd3 Austin Booker
Austin Booker in the 83rd overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick93 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
A tidy little value on Bucky Irving in slot 93, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick94 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They paid sticker price for Khyree Jackson in pick No. 94, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick101 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at slot 101 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
Pick103 Rnd4 Cam Hart
A clean, defensible pick in Round 4, Pick 3 with a little surplus value in Cam Hart. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick117 Rnd4 Maason Smith
Maason Smith in the 117th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick121 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at pick 121 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick136 Rnd4 Christian Jones
A reasonable price with a little left over, Christian Jones in No. 136. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick142 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
No edge and no loss on Tommy Eichenberg in pick No. 142; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick145 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
By-the-book stuff, Luke McCaffrey at the 145th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick147 Rnd5 AJ Barner
A real head-scratcher, AJ Barner in the Round 5 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick151 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
They paid a round early for Dwight McGlothern in pick 151, more than the board wanted. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick191 Rnd6 Tahj Washington
A straight-up fair deal on Tahj Washington at No. 191, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
No drama and no debate, Jared Wiley went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 28. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick207 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Matthew Jones. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick240 Rnd7 Trajan Jeffcoat
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Trajan Jeffcoat well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
