The NFL draft is in the books, but scores continue to flow for Class Two for George Patton as the Denver Broncos general manager. Given the Broncos’ first pick, this draft cycle wasn’t even the last pick in the second round, and Button’s desire to accumulate the 2023 draft picks in 2022, the team has never strayed from a mind-blowing draft class yet. as a national perspective.
When teams like the New York Jets draft four games into the top 40, the Kansas City Chiefs collect outstanding picks by replacing the most dynamic playmaker in football this season, and the Baltimore Ravens are just themselves and shy away from value in nearly every pick and trade. It makes sense why the Broncos aren’t getting that much attention at this point.
Hindsight will tell the tale that draft classes shouldn’t have a final grade until four to five years in the future, but post-draft grades serve a valuable purpose: They’re fun.
Overall, many drafters seem to think the Broncos did well in the 2022 draft, but perhaps no one is quite up to what Button did last weekend. NFL.com Analyst Chad Reuter.
With Reuter being one of the few in the media draft to regularly parody and analyze the draft after the first round, he should be considered one of the best analysts out there for judging the Broncos’ performance in 2022. Getting an “A” on Day One, Day Two, and Day Three, Denver has a huge fan following. In Reuters across the board this year.
Russell Wilson was a big part of the draft class in Denver, which is fine with the Broncos, as it should be. They used a pickaxe obtained at Von Miller’s trade to add an explosive pass lane at Bonitto. The team found a potential replacement for Noah Fant (who was sent to Seattle in a Wilson deal) in Dulcich’s previous tour.
Mathis builds corner depth for the Broncos, where he can play in the hole or outside. Uwazurike and Henningsen are polar opposites as a defensive line, with the former Cyclone being a strong player and Henningsen a high-powered press machine. Wattenberg could compete for the starting position in 2022.

Honestly, if the Broncos traded the entire draft class this season for Wilson, he would still be a Grade A (doing so might have been the best deal for Denver given that would have meant he would still be #1 and #2 for the 2023-Round pick). In the NFL, if you don’t have a star quarterback, you need either a generation unit (like the 2015 Broncos defense), an extraordinary amount of luck in both games and injury, and an outstanding coaching staff.
While it is difficult to find a player behind the franchise quarterback, it is difficult to rely on any of the other potential methods that pay off. There are questions about the long-range paths to start a few of this year’s Broncos draft pick, but it would be surprising if four of Denver’s top six picks this season — Nick Bonetto, Greg Dolch, Iuma Owazurek and Montreal Washington. – No heavy casting has been recorded in 2022 in their specific niche roles.
With the Broncos entering the Super Bowl window this season and taking over Wilson (who is in line for a big contract off next season), the best time to do so might be now. What will the Bronco 2022 project look like over the years along the streak?
A lot of that will likely come down to how well this team can develop these players and whether the Novice class can evolve from a “role-specific” type to a full-fledged Novice type. Regardless, Team Broncos roster has improved this past weekend.
If Reuter thinks the Broncos are just as true for the three days of scoring, that is as much as any post-draft score could mean.
