Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Broncos answered their biggest question with McCarthy. Grade: 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. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it. They are betting Guerendo proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In No. 27 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Troy Franklin. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick70 Rnd3 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at the 70th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick76 Rnd3 Cade Stover
No edge and no loss on Cade Stover in Round 3, Pick 12; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick121 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
A reach on Isaac Guerendo in slot 121; the board had better options right there. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick136 Rnd4 Christian Jones
Good price on Christian Jones in pick 136, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 145, where Jarrian Jones graded well above the range. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick147 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
A conviction pick on Brennan Jackson at the Round 5 slot that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick176 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
By-the-book stuff, Fabien Lovett at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
