Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall
B+
ValueC+
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureB+
The Broncos won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Isaac Guerendo at pick 92, a reach of 36 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Landing McCaffrey that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
The Broncos clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick34
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
A clean, defensible pick in slot 34 with a little surplus value in J.J. McCarthy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76
Rnd3
Cade Stover
Cade Stover in the 76th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick83
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in Round 3, Pick 19 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick92
Rnd3
Isaac Guerendo
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Isaac Guerendo. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick93
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
By-the-book stuff, Christian Mahogany at pick 93 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick94
Rnd3
Maason Smith
They paid up for Maason Smith at No. 94 when waiting would have done the job. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick101
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
They paid sticker price for Zak Zinter in slot 101, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick102
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
They went early on Cedric Gray in the 102nd pick, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick103
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at Round 4, Pick 3 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick121
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
No edge and no loss on Johnny Wilson in the 121st overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick125
Rnd4
Christian Jones
Christian Jones at pick No. 125 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick136
Rnd4
Brennan Jackson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Brennan Jackson in No. 136, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick145
Rnd5
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick147
Rnd5
Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at pick 147 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in the 174th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick203
Rnd6
Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in No. 203 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick207
Rnd6
Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at pick 207 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
