FutureB
The Broncos bet the future on McCarthy. The board says D. The phones were a trap the Broncos kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.
They have staked the next five years on J.J. McCarthy, which is the only story that really matters here. They will need McCarthy to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Leaving interior defensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
That Guerendo pick is the receipt they will wave around later.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and interior defensive lineman is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
J.J. McCarthy
In slot 5 they get their guy under center for the next decade, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
Pick76
Rnd3
Max Melton
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Max Melton. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick110
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
A big swing on Mohamed Kamara at No. 110, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick121
Rnd4
Javon Foster
They paid sticker price for Javon Foster in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick145
Rnd5
Isaac Guerendo
Value with a capital V on Isaac Guerendo in Round 5, Pick 9, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick147
Rnd5
Tommy Eichenberg
No edge and no loss on Tommy Eichenberg in pick No. 147; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick203
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cornelius Johnson at pick 203. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick207
Rnd6
Jared Wiley
A straight-up fair deal on Jared Wiley at the 207th pick, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
