FutureB
The Broncos did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Isaac Guerendo, 34 picks early at the 94th pick. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.
With quarterback unsolved, spending premium capital on cornerback is the choice that costs them. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
The Walker steal is the beam this whole class leans on.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick Analysis
Pick49
Rnd2
T.J. Tampa
They paid sticker price for T.J. Tampa in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick76
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Michael Hall Jr. at Round 3, Pick 12, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick84
Rnd3
Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker slipping to the 84th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick90
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Khyree Jackson at cornerback with quarterback open.
Pick93
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in No. 93 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick94
Rnd3
Isaac Guerendo
They reached into another round for Isaac Guerendo, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick97
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
A premium they did not need to pay, Zak Zinter a notch or two before his time. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick101
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
A real head-scratcher, Mohamed Kamara in the 101st overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick103
Rnd4
Maason Smith
They jumped the gun on Maason Smith, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick119
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 119 with a little surplus value in Cedric Gray. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick121
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at slot 121 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick136
Rnd4
Dallin Holker
They paid a round early for Dallin Holker in the Round 4 slot, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick145
Rnd5
Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at the 145th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick147
Rnd5
Marist Liufau
A reach on Marist Liufau in pick 147; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick194
Rnd6
Trente Jones
By-the-book stuff, Trente Jones at pick No. 194 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick203
Rnd6
Jared Wiley
No drama and no debate, Jared Wiley went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 28. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
