FutureB-
The Broncos jumped the board for Johnson and paid for it: F. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Cornelius Johnson at No. 235, a reach of 122 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. A F, plain and simple.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left linebacker open, and the grade is the bill.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Byron Murphy II
In Round 1, Pick 19 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51
Rnd2
Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier in the 51st overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick76
Rnd3
Javon Foster
A real head-scratcher, Javon Foster in the Round 3 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick117
Rnd4
Cam Hart
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cam Hart well ahead of where he belonged. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick121
Rnd4
Austin Booker
Austin Booker at No. 121 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick125
Rnd4
Luke McCaffrey
A conviction pick on Luke McCaffrey at the 125th pick that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick149
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
The board had cheaper options than Kitan Oladapo at pick No. 149, and it noticed. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick233
Rnd7
Nathan Pickering
A big swing on Nathan Pickering at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick235
Rnd7
Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in the 235th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
