Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB
The Broncos bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Broncos, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

They are betting McCarthy proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They banked enough surplus on Jordan to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In No. 12 they get a ballhawk on the outside. More want than need.
Pick31 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In the Round 1 slot they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at pick 33 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick63 Rnd2 Mekhi Wingo
A straight-up fair deal on Mekhi Wingo at the 63rd pick, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick76 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall at Round 3, Pick 12 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The roster fit checks out.
Pick98 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves at pick No. 98 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at slot 114 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick122 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Leonard Taylor III at the 122nd overall pick is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick132 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg in pick 132 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick146 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
No edge and no loss on Ben Sinnott in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick230 Rnd7 Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan at No. 230 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick237 Rnd7 Jha'Quan Jackson
The board had Jha'Quan Jackson higher than Round 7, Pick 17, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
