Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall F
ValueD- NeedB TradesF FutureC-
McCarthy is the plan now, and the Broncos grade out a F.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Broncos would have aced it. Bucky Irving at the Round 1 slot is 62 spots clear of where he belonged.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They have staked the next five years on J.J. McCarthy, which is the only story that really matters here.

Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Foster pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left linebacker open, and the grade is the bill.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In the Round 1 slot they get their guy under center for the next decade, a steep price for the projection.
Pick31 Rnd1 Bucky Irving
In the 31st pick they get a three-down runner, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick33 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They talked themselves into Xavier Worthy at slot 33, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick102 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams in Round 4, Pick 2 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick122 Rnd4 Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson at pick 122 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick141 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
A straight-up fair deal on Jacob Cowing at pick No. 141, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick144 Rnd5 Javon Foster
Javon Foster in Round 5, Pick 8 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
Pick146 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They left a pile of value on the table to take Joe Milton III this early at the 146th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick180 Rnd6 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse slid further than he should have, and slot 180 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick228 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield at No. 228 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick237 Rnd7 Devin Leary
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Devin Leary. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
