FutureA
A passer of the future in McCarthy, and a B-, for the Broncos. Somebody in pick 242 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Broncos sat still while Dorian Singer, the No. 176 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.
J.J. McCarthy gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The cost of the McCarthy reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
J.J. McCarthy
In pick No. 27 they get a passer to set the clock by, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick78
Rnd3
Ruke Orhorhoro
No drama and no debate, Ruke Orhorhoro went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 14. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick114
Rnd4
Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at No. 114 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick129
Rnd4
Ray Davis
Ray Davis at slot 129 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick164
Rnd5
Sincere Haynesworth
They took Sincere Haynesworth at par in the 164th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick205
Rnd6
Duce Chestnut
By-the-book stuff, Duce Chestnut at pick No. 205 squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick235
Rnd7
Darius Muasau
A linebacker of that caliber at the 235th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick242
Rnd7
Dorian Singer
Dorian Singer at pick 242 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
