The Denver Broncos' 2025 NFL Draft class is in the books, now it's time to hand out grades.

Of course, we won't know if these were good picks by Denver until a few years down the road, but we can speculate based off their college production, how their skills fit with what the Broncos do, and athletic upside. Here our grades for all seven Denver draft picks. . .

CB Jahdae Barron: A-

Barron checks all the boxes you want in a first-round pick, such as elite play, athleticism, versatility, intelligence, and professionalism both on and off the field. Barron should make an instant impact as a nickel CB, and could start opposite Patrick Surtain II in 2026.

Some might be disappointed that the Broncos didn't go with an offensive skill position player in the first round, but Denver is clearly prioritizing keeping its defense strong. With the amount of elite quarterbacks that reside in the AFC, that is a wise strategy.

RB RJ Harvey: C-

Credit to the Broncos for using one of their highest picks on their biggest position of need, but Harvey was definitely a reach at No. 60 overall. RBs such as Kaleb Johnson, Cam Skattebo, and Trevor Etienne were better options in my opinion.

Given how often Denver traded throughout this year's draft, it would have been worth trading up for either TreVeyon Henderson or Quinshon Judkins. Harvey does have a nice balance of speed and balance, as well as receiving ability, but he's also very small at 5-foot-8 and struggles in pass protection.

WR Pat Bryant: C-

This was another reach by the Broncos in my estimation, as they very likely could have gotten Bryant with either of their following two picks, and possibly even with their sixth-round selection.

I admire Bryant's run blocking skills, but receiving abilities have to come first with a guy who's selected in the top 100. He plays physically, but isn't exceptionally big and is quite slow. He may become a solid redzone threat and special teams contributor, but I can't envision Bryant as much more than decent depth.

DL Sai'Vion Jones: B-

Denver got back on track with the selection of Jones in the third round. He is exactly what the Broncos like in a defensive lineman – powerful, versatile, and possesses pass rush prowess. Jones can learn the ropes as a rookie without having the pressure to play a ton of snaps, then could be ready for a starting job in 2026. 

---

EDGE Que Robinson: C

I like Robinson, but back-to-back defensive linemen for an already great Broncos front seven is a little overkill. Robinson is very inexperienced, but flashed a lot of pass rushing potential last season for Alabama. He could develop into a solid player down the line, but isn't going to contribute much in 2025 or possibly even 2026. 

---

P Jeremy Crawshaw: D

Sure, Denver needed a punter following the departure of Riley Dixon during free agency, but using a draft pick on one is silly. The Broncos could have likely taken Crawshaw in the seventh round, or signed him as an undrafted free agent. He is definitely talented, but if he turns out to be a bust this will be a bad look for Denver.

---

TE Caleb Lohner: C

At the end of the day, it's hard to be too critical of a seventh-round draft pick. The Broncos are taking a flyer on Lohner, who has tremendous size and athleticism and plays a future position of need, as Evan Engram is signed to just a two-year contract. Lohner has a long way to go, but if he develops he could push for a roster spot in a couple of years.
