Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureA
The Broncos left with their quarterback, and a D to match.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Broncos shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill.

So much rides on J.J. McCarthy that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

If McCarthy pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. However the rest shakes out, Jenkins at that price is a win they earned.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
No drama and no debate, Taliese Fuaga went about where he belonged in pick No. 12. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick31 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at the 31st pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick35 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tyler Nubin in Round 2, Pick 3. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick64 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick76 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall in slot 76 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick114 Rnd4 DJ James
They paid sticker price for DJ James in pick 114, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick122 Rnd4 Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight in the 122nd overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick129 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A quiet steal in No. 129: Darius Robinson for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick146 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jordan Travis at the 146th overall pick is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
