Of their original set, the only pick Denver actually used was No. 20 on Texas cornerback Jahdae Barron. The Broncos actually considered trading back from there, too, Paton said Thursday night, to take a running back (Ohio State’s TreVeyon Henderson, sources said) later in the first round.

The Broncos were ecstatic that Barron fell to them at pick No. 20 -- and his versatility will give them options on defense.

The Denver Broncos selected Florida punter Jeremy Crawshaw with the 216th overall pick in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL draft on Saturday afternoon. Crawshaw played four years at the University of Florida.
