Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureD
Maye is the plan now, and the Broncos grade out a D.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Broncos did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high.

Drake Maye is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. It is not that Solomon is a bad player; it is that the Broncos had louder needs to answer first. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it.

That Torrence pick is the receipt they will wave around later. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Drake Maye
In the 5th overall pick they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 Austin Booker
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Austin Booker. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick121 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Javon Solomon at OLB-EDGE with linebacker, interior defensive lineman and other spots open.
Pick145 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at pick 145 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick147 Rnd5 Jamari Thrash
The board had Jamari Thrash higher than slot 147, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick203 Rnd6 Ro Torrence
Somehow Ro Torrence was still sitting there in Round 6, Pick 28, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick207 Rnd6 Erick All
Erick All at pick No. 207 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
