Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Quarterback settled, McCarthy in the fold, and a B+ for the Broncos.

The search is over. The Broncos handed the keys to J.J. McCarthy, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

The Polk steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The phones were where this weekend was really won. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In No. 18 they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick48 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Somehow Quinyon Mitchell was still sitting there in the 48th overall pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick76 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Nothing to complain about; Patrick Paul went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jonah Elliss
They liked Jonah Elliss enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 80. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick114 Rnd4 Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk in Round 4, Pick 14 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121 Rnd4 Maason Smith
Maason Smith at slot 121 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick136 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
A tidy little value on Sataoa Laumea in the 136th pick, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick145 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They paid sticker price for Luke McCaffrey in the Round 5 slot, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick184 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett in Round 6, Pick 9 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick203 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
A clean, defensible pick in the 203rd overall pick with a little surplus value in Curtis Jacobs. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick207 Rnd6 Tanner McLachlan
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tanner McLachlan. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
