FutureB-
The Broncos did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B. The tape said wait; the Broncos did not. Jordan Travis went at the 145th pick, a good 27 picks before the board was ready. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.
On value alone, Washington makes the weekend a net positive. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with linebacker the one that mattered most.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick35
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
Adonai Mitchell at pick No. 35 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick71
Rnd3
Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall is a better player than pick 71 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick73
Rnd3
Cade Stover
Cade Stover at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick76
Rnd3
Austin Booker
No drama and no debate, Austin Booker went about where he belonged in the 76th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick83
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
They took Michael Hall Jr. at par in slot 83, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick87
Rnd3
Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in Round 3, Pick 24 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick121
Rnd4
Javon Foster
No edge and no loss on Javon Foster in pick 121; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick136
Rnd4
Jarrian Jones
They paid sticker price for Jarrian Jones in Round 4, Pick 36, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick145
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
Value said wait; Jordan Travis in slot 145 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick147
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in pick No. 147 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick203
Rnd6
Tahj Washington
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tahj Washington in the 203rd overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick207
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
By-the-book stuff, Nathaniel Watson at No. 207 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
