Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall
A-
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureA
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Broncos a A-. There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Broncos started one anyway for Solomon Byrd, 50 picks ahead of schedule. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The McCarthy pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
Bottom line, they left the weekend a clearly better team, and they earned every bit of it.
Pick Analysis
Pick46
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at slot 46 is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick71
Rnd3
Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall slipping to the 71st pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick73
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie at pick 73 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76
Rnd3
Bucky Irving
A reach for Bucky Irving in the 76th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick78
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. in No. 78 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick89
Rnd3
Marshawn Kneeland
They let Marshawn Kneeland come to them and pounced at Round 3, Pick 26. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick96
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at Round 3, Pick 33 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick117
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
The board had cheaper options than Johnny Wilson at the 117th overall pick, and it noticed. The roster fit checks out.
Pick120
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
They took Theo Johnson at par in No. 120, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick121
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in pick No. 121 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick136
Rnd4
Javon Foster
They read the board right and Javon Foster was the payoff at pick 136. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick145
Rnd5
Layden Robinson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Layden Robinson well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick147
Rnd5
Dwight McGlothern
They liked Dwight McGlothern enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 5 slot. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick203
Rnd6
Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington is a better player than the 203rd pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick207
Rnd6
Solomon Byrd
They reached a country mile for Solomon Byrd at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
