Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall

FutureB-
The Broncos left with their quarterback, and a B to match. After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Broncos committed. J.J. McCarthy is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
The Lee reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through linebacker. Landing Washington that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick32
Rnd1
J.J. McCarthy
In the 32nd overall pick they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan at the 40th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick52
Rnd2
Zach Frazier
They paid up for Zach Frazier at Round 2, Pick 20 when waiting would have done the job. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick73
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
Nothing to complain about; Kiran Amegadjie went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick84
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
A reach on Gabriel Murphy in No. 84; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
A premium they did not need to pay, Khyree Jackson a notch or two before his time. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick95
Rnd3
Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at the Round 3 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick121
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at pick 121 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick136
Rnd4
Ainias Smith
No drama and no debate, Ainias Smith went about where he belonged in the 136th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick145
Rnd5
AJ Barner
AJ Barner at pick No. 145 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick147
Rnd5
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at Round 5, Pick 11 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick155
Rnd5
Dwight McGlothern
A straight-up fair deal on Dwight McGlothern at the 155th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick178
Rnd6
Logan Lee
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Logan Lee. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick203
Rnd6
Tahj Washington
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tahj Washington in No. 203. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
