There is reaching, and then there is Marvin Jones Jr. at the Round 7 slot. The Broncos jumped the board by 81 and dared it to prove them wrong. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Klare. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They left with linebacker solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
The trade work was a quiet net positive.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
CJ Allen slipping to Round 2, Pick 7 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Somehow Max Klare was still sitting there in the 112th pick, and they pounced on premier tight end value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
They let Terion Stewart come to them and pounced at pick No. 246. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
A wild overpay on Marvin Jones Jr. in No. 256, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Nice patience on Kendrick Law, who had no business lasting to the 257th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
