Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesD- FutureA
The Broncos found their guy under center in McCarthy: B-.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Broncos spent their marquee pick on J.J. McCarthy, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Jackson. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In the 27th overall pick they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
By-the-book stuff, Brandon Dorlus at pick No. 76 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick121 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They will replay Khyree Jackson at slot 121 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick136 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
A tidy bit of business in No. 136, where Theo Johnson graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick145 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in Round 5, Pick 9 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick147 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
They went early on Sione Vaki in pick 147, and the value did not follow. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick203 Rnd6 Trente Jones
A slide stopped in the 203rd pick, with Trente Jones worth more than the price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick207 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
A conviction pick on JD Bertrand at the Round 6 slot that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
