Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Nix is the Broncos' new face under center. Grade: D-.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Broncos, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

The whole projection now runs through Bo Nix; hit there and everything else looks smarter. They will need Leary to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. With interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on TE-EDGE is the choice that costs them.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, interior defensive lineman very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In No. 12 they get a passer to set the clock by, even if it was a touch early.
Pick50 Rnd2 Graham Barton
By-the-book stuff, Graham Barton at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick74 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They did well to land Payton Wilson in slot 74, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christian Haynes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick97 Rnd3 Cade Stover
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Cade Stover adds a TE-EDGE and leaves interior defensive lineman, running back and other spots untouched.
Pick110 Rnd4 Max Melton
They took Max Melton at par in pick 110, which is nothing to complain about. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick114 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in Round 4, Pick 14 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at pick No. 122 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick146 Rnd5 Edefuan Ulofoshio
A reach for Edefuan Ulofoshio in the Round 5 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick230 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
Fair-plus on Daequan Hardy, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick237 Rnd7 Devin Leary
They reached into another round for Devin Leary, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
