I like it

I’m not sure it helps us as much as a RB would have - but I’ll wait and see what we do with next pick.

I think it is a BPA pick. And it tells me that we like the depth of the RB class. Now, I could very much see us trying to move up tomorrow for our preferred RB.

CB must have been top player on their board
by alot

The value was just too good to pass up on

I think Payton saw how much we struggled when Moss went down and our lack of depth and wanting to change fix that.

Ile teams we see twice a year get MASSIVE upgrades at RB, which is our weakest point on defense.

First time since we hired Paton I really think he effed up on an Ed Reed level. And Im a horn fan.

Barron it is.

Someone no one picked in the contest.

I see you

Clear headed thinking, Fem! BPA no matter what.

I'm sure it was a BPA pick and Payton knows the team better than we do. However and as a fan, I can't deny that I'm disappointed. Hampton was sitting right there and now he's a Charger. I support the decision and the team but I just don't like it to be honest. Please move up in round 2 and get Henderson.

From The Athletic:

but seconds after selecting Barron, the newest member of the Broncos did something that immediately endeared him to his new organization — something Payton had not experienced in his dozens of draft nights over the years.

“He politely asked, ‘When we’re finished (talking), could you guys put me on speakerphone,’” Payton said. “After he finished (talking) with (owner) Greg Penner, we put him on speakerphone and he thanked everyone in the room for the process. He talked about his mother and his journey. I’ve never had that happen.”

Payton smiled as he told the story. No need to hide their affinity for Barron anymore.

Personally I really like the pick. While I fully expected a RB, I can't say I am disappointed. Our secondary looks very stout right now. The lack of depth here was one of the bigger weaknesses and they've addressed that. I understand there's a lot of depth at RB in this draft so there is still a lot of time to address that position. But this pick really brings our defense to completion. This roster is as complete a roster as you will find on defense in the NFL. It should be a very good unit in 25.
