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

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The cost of the Mitchell reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The Stover pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with interior defensive lineman, tight end and other spots still on the board.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In No. 16 they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jack Sawyer
The board had Jack Sawyer higher than the Round 3 slot, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick116 Rnd4 Tate Ratledge
A tidy little value on Tate Ratledge in pick 116, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Cade Stover
A want over a need in slot 131: Cade Stover adds a TE-EDGE while interior defensive lineman, tight end and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick153 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
A wild overpay on Kamal Hadden in pick No. 153, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick234 Rnd7 Tre Harris
They will replay Tre Harris at the 234th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jackson Mitchell
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jackson Mitchell. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
