Following the 2026 NFL draft, René Bugner compiled a round-up of post-draft grades for all 32 clubs, citing 24 sources. He then ranked the 32 teams by their cumulative "GPA" grade.

The Denver Broncos were given a cumulative grade of 2.51, which ranks 26th in the NFL (they ranked 24th last year). Denver's draft class received just one A(-) grade, followed by eleven B(+-) grades, eleven C(+-) grades and one D(+) grade.

The A- grade came from the league's official website (the easiest grader) and the D+ grade came from Bleacher Report.

Ryan Wilson of CBS Sports ranked the Broncos' draft classes 26th and 28th, respectively, in 2024 and 2025. Despite those low draft rankings, Denver posted a 70.6% winning percentage from 2024-2025. Clearly, immediate draft grades do not necessarily reflect or predict the upcoming success (or failure) of a club.
