Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
McCarthy is the plan now, and the Broncos grade out a 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-.

Crumedy has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Williams.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In pick No. 12 they get a long-term answer under center, though they paid up to get him.
Pick76 Rnd3 Max Melton
They took Max Melton at par in Round 3, Pick 12, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick121 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Good price on Blake Fisher in the Round 4 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick136 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in pick 136 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick145 Rnd5 Marcus Harris
By-the-book stuff, Marcus Harris at the 145th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick147 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in the 147th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
A real head-scratcher, Jaden Crumedy in No. 203 is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick207 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at slot 207 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
