Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Broncos bet the future on McCarthy. The board says B.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. J.J. McCarthy is the Broncos' quarterback, full stop. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The Cephus pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in Round 1, Pick 27 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick35 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
No drama and no debate, Darius Robinson went about where he belonged in pick 35. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
No edge and no loss on Michael Hall Jr. in slot 76; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick90 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
They paid sticker price for Dominick Puni in the 90th pick, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick122 Rnd4 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at No. 122 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick144 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in the 144th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick146 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
By-the-book stuff, Roger Rosengarten at pick No. 146 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick237 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
A reach for Joshua Cephus in the Round 7 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
