GarryD DRAFTING FOR THEBroncos

Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall

ValueB
NeedB
TradesA
FutureB+
The Broncos won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Broncos, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.
The Wilson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. However the rest shakes out, Beebe at that price is a win they earned.
Linebacker was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick34
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
Nothing to complain about; J.J. McCarthy went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick60
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe slipping to the 60th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
They read the board right and Kiran Amegadjie was the payoff at pick No. 76. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick84
Rnd3
Cade Stover
The board had Cade Stover higher than the 84th pick, and the tight end fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick88
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at slot 88 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick93
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at Round 3, Pick 30 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick94
Rnd3
Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving at pick 94 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick102
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
They jumped the gun on Cedric Gray, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick103
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Johnny Wilson well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick121
Rnd4
Maason Smith
Maason Smith slid further than he should have, and the 121st overall pick is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves at the 126th pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick136
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
A tidy little value on Mohamed Kamara in pick No. 136, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick145
Rnd5
Ainias Smith
Good price on Ainias Smith in Round 5, Pick 9, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick147
Rnd5
Dwight McGlothern
They paid up for Dwight McGlothern at No. 147 when waiting would have done the job. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick203
Rnd6
Jared Wiley
They paid sticker price for Jared Wiley in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick207
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in slot 207 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
