FutureA
The Broncos bet the future on Nix. The board says B-. The search is over. The Broncos handed the keys to Bo Nix, and the whole operation now runs on his development. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is James. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it.
It is not that Hart is a bad player; it is that the Broncos had louder needs to answer first. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Bo Nix
In the Round 1 slot they get the arm they will build around, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick76
Rnd3
DJ James
Circle this one: DJ James at the 76th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick120
Rnd4
Cam Hart
A curious use of the 120th overall pick. Linebacker, interior defensive lineman and other spots needed the pick; a cornerback in Cam Hart did not.
Pick121
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves at pick 121 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick136
Rnd4
Sataoa Laumea
They did well to land Sataoa Laumea in Round 4, Pick 36, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
