Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Broncos left with their quarterback, and a B- to match.

Start where it matters. The Broncos took J.J. McCarthy to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. The Harrell reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Linebacker is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In slot 12 they get a long-term answer under center, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 Javon Baker
No drama and no debate, Javon Baker went about where he belonged in pick No. 76. The roster fit checks out.
Pick121 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at the Round 4 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick136 Rnd4 Xavier Thomas
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Thomas. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick145 Rnd5 Christian Jones
A tidy little value on Christian Jones in Round 5, Pick 9, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick147 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker at pick 147 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
They paid up for Jaylen Harrell at the 203rd overall pick when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick207 Rnd6 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio at No. 207 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
