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

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. J.J. McCarthy is the Broncos' quarterback, full stop.

That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Taylor III pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the linebacker spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In No. 31 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
They will replay Chris Braswell at slot 76 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick84 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
A reach for Khyree Jackson in the 84th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick87 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in pick No. 87 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick89 Rnd3 Leonard Taylor III
A real head-scratcher, Leonard Taylor III in pick 89 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick93 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in Round 3, Pick 30 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick94 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at the Round 3 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick121 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A straight-up fair deal on Javon Foster at the 121st pick, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick136 Rnd4 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the 136th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick145 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson in pick No. 145 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick147 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mason McCormick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick203 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at pick 203 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick207 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
By-the-book stuff, Jared Wiley at Round 6, Pick 32 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
