Broncos draft CB Jahdae Barron in first round

In the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos selected Texas cornerback Jahdae Barron. This was a surprising pick as nobody really expected the Broncos to go cornerback at 20th overall, but he was a top-ranked player and simply too good to pass up at 20th overall.

During the Broncos' press conference at the conclusion of the first round of the draft, General Manager George Paton told reporters that they did not expect Barron to be available at 20th overall.
