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

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Broncos committed. J.J. McCarthy is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline.

Raym has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The linebacker spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They banked enough surplus on Jenkins to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Good work on the whole, with linebacker the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In slot 19 they get their quarterback of the future, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where Kris Jenkins graded well above the range. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick76 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Value with a capital V on Patrick Paul in pick 76, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick83 Rnd3 Max Melton
A reasonable price with a little left over, Max Melton in pick No. 83. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick121 Rnd4 Luke McCaffrey
Value said wait; Luke McCaffrey in the 121st overall pick says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick134 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
A reach for Justin Eboigbe in No. 134; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick136 Rnd4 Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker in Round 4, Pick 36 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick145 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
They went early on Isaiah Davis in the 145th pick, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick147 Rnd5 Anthony Gould
Anthony Gould at slot 147 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick203 Rnd6 Andrew Raym
They talked themselves into Andrew Raym at Round 6, Pick 28, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick207 Rnd6 Logan Lee
Logan Lee at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick217 Rnd6 Keith Randolph Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Keith Randolph Jr. at pick No. 217, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
