Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Broncos found their guy under center in McCarthy: B-.

The Broncos spent the pick that matters most on J.J. McCarthy, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Mims at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The McCarthy pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a passer to set the clock by, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick58 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims at the Round 2 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at No. 76 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick121 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Leonard Taylor III at slot 121. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick149 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nothing to complain about; Nehemiah Pritchett went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick220 Rnd6 Kenny Logan Jr.
Kenny Logan Jr. in the 220th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick240 Rnd7 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry in pick 240 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
