Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesB FutureA
The Broncos drew a line under the quarterback search with McCarthy: B.

The search is over. The Broncos handed the keys to J.J. McCarthy, and the whole operation now runs on his development. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Reaching for Capehart left real value on the table behind him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. If one pick saves this weekend, it is James.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In the 21st pick they get a franchise quarterback, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick76 Rnd3 D.J. James
D.J. James is a better player than slot 76 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick113 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in the 113th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick121 Rnd4 Malik Washington
Malik Washington at Round 4, Pick 21 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick149 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
They read the board right and Cedric Gray was the payoff at pick 149. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick186 Rnd6 AJ Barner
A straight-up fair deal on AJ Barner at No. 186, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick233 Rnd7 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at pick No. 233 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick240 Rnd7 J.J. Weaver
They let J.J. Weaver come to them and pounced at the Round 7 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
