McCarthy is the plan now, and the Broncos grade out a B. 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.
That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Travis has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.
For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
J.J. McCarthy
In Round 1, Pick 19 they get the arm they will build around, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
Pick52
Rnd2
Adisa Isaac
By-the-book stuff, Adisa Isaac at No. 52 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick77
Rnd3
Cade Stover
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cade Stover in the Round 3 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick83
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
They paid sticker price for Dominick Puni in the 83rd pick, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick121
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
They will replay Khyree Jackson at pick 121 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick136
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe at pick No. 136 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick145
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jordan Travis this early at the 145th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick147
Rnd5
Hunter Nourzad
A reach on Hunter Nourzad in slot 147; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick203
Rnd6
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They went early on Zion Tupuola-Fetui in pick No. 203, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick207
Rnd6
Kendall Milton
A clean, defensible pick in No. 207 with a little surplus value in Kendall Milton. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick217
Rnd6
Keith Randolph Jr.
They took Keith Randolph Jr. at par in Round 6, Pick 42, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick223
Rnd7
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at pick 223 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
