Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall F
ValueC- NeedB TradesF FutureC+
The Broncos found their guy under center in McCarthy: F.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Broncos started one anyway for Matthew Jones, 59 picks ahead of schedule.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They have staked the next five years on J.J. McCarthy, which is the only story that really matters here. They punted on linebacker, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

There is no spinning it; the board won this weekend going away.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a franchise quarterback, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter in the 76th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jacob Cowing
A real head-scratcher, Jacob Cowing in pick 121 is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick136 Rnd4 Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy at the Round 4 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick145 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
They took Nehemiah Pritchett at par in pick No. 145, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick147 Rnd5 Cody Schrader
They reached a country mile for Cody Schrader at slot 147, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick203 Rnd6 Trey Knox
Value said wait; Trey Knox in No. 203 says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick207 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Matthew Jones well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick222 Rnd7 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
A wide receiver of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
