2025 Projections
Joins Denver's secondary
The Broncos selected Barron in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 20th overall.
ANALYSIS
Denver's secondary gets even stronger with the addition of Barron out of Texas. Though a bit undersized to stick on the boundary at 5-foot-11 and 194 pounds, Barron has great coverage instincts and punches above his weight as a tackler. He broke up 16 passes and picked off five in 2024 en route to winning the Jim Thorpe Award, given to the best defensive back in the country. Slot corner looks to be his best fit in Denver's secondary, where he can be a plug-and-play fixture right away.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Late riser
Barron could be selected inside the top 10 of the 2025 NFL Draft, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Barron played all over the secondary with Texas during his collegiate career, but he may have convinced NFL teams that he's capable of being a lockdown option on the after testing very well at the combine. That has solidified him as a first-round pick, though Schefter suggests Barron could go even earlier than anticipated. The Jets could use help at corner next to Sauce Gardner, and hold the seventh overall pick.
