Grading the Broncos' draft

Best Pick: CB Jahdae Barron, No. 20 Overall
What We Liked: Barron is a stud. His extreme versatility along with high-end tackling skills and coverage ability should make him a cornerstone of that defense for a while. In an era that's shifting more toward the idea of "positionless football," the Broncos are charging forward into the future with a defensive back that is the shining example of that philosophy. I also think Sai'vion Jones could work in quickly as a third pass rusher.
Not Sure About: In theory, adding a couple skill players for Bo Nix should work for Denver, but these guys don't have the juice. RJ Harvey does not have a standout trait and plays slower than his tested speed. Spending a second-round pick on a guy who doesn't elevate your running back room is a problem. Pat Bryant feels like a guy head coach Sean Payton over-drafted for his blocking ability, but in the third round, it feels like he should have focused on players that can also catch and run with the ball.
