Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
McCarthy is the plan now, and the Broncos grade out a C+.

The search is over. The Broncos handed the keys to J.J. McCarthy, and the whole operation now runs on his development. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

Every board in the league had McCarthy lower, and that gap is the story. That linebacker hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Williams.

So much rides on J.J. McCarthy that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In the 12th pick they get their quarterback of the future, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick76 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at pick No. 76 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick114 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darius Robinson. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
A wild overpay on Jaheim Bell in Round 4, Pick 22, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick146 Rnd5 Cam Hart
A clean, defensible pick in pick 146 with a little surplus value in Cam Hart. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick230 Rnd7 Trevor Keegan
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trevor Keegan in No. 230, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick237 Rnd7 Miyan Williams
Miyan Williams in slot 237 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
