Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureC
Quarterback settled, McCarthy in the fold, and a B- for the Broncos.

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. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Reaching for Henderson left real value on the table behind him. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Landing Burton that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In slot 27 they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Nice patience on Graham Barton, who had no business lasting to No. 35. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 76th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick121 Rnd4 Ray Davis
Ray Davis slipping to the Round 4 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick136 Rnd4 Kalen King
No drama and no debate, Kalen King went about where he belonged in pick No. 136. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick145 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
They went early on Sione Vaki in pick 145, and the value did not follow. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick147 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in the 147th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick203 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Fair-plus on Curtis Jacobs, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick207 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
They talked themselves into LaDarius Henderson at pick 207, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
