Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos left with their quarterback, and a B- to match.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Bo Nix is the Broncos' quarterback, full stop.

The Thomas reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Jackson steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Bo Nix
In No. 12 they get the arm they will build around, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
A reach for McKinnley Jackson in pick 76; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick114 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Nice patience on Khyree Jackson, who had no business lasting to the 114th pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick122 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
They took Justin Eboigbe at par in the 122nd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick146 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick230 Rnd7 Xavier Thomas
Value said wait; Xavier Thomas in pick No. 230 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick237 Rnd7 Walter Rouse
They left a pile of value on the table to take Walter Rouse this early at slot 237. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
