00:00The pick is in for Denver at 20th overall.
00:04Our first defensive back, not named Travis Hunter of the night,
00:08is now officially off the board.
00:10John A. Barron, the Jim Thorpe Award winner for the best DB in college football a season ago,
00:15goes 20th overall to the Denver Broncos.
00:18From the odds perspective, Kev, what stands out to you?
00:21Odds perspective, easily the most surprising pick of the draft.
00:25Not even close.
00:26Everyone was zoned in on running back, maybe tight end.
00:31You could sell me wide receiver.
00:34Nobody had this team going cornerback.
00:38I'm not, I'll let everybody else talk about the player.
00:42I like Barron.
00:43From an odds perspective, this is stunning.
00:47The Denver Broncos just went cornerback.
00:49Stunning.
00:50Last week, Will Johnson and a lockdown guy, bump and run coverage.
00:57You're pairing with Patrick Soutan, and now you're really looking to compete against the L.A. Chargers,
01:02and more importantly, the Kansas City Chiefs in the division.
01:05We know that they can put up offense, but now Denver's building up the defensive side of the ball to compete,
01:10not just for a division title, but to make a run potentially for an AFC championship.
01:16And Texas had one of the best pass defenses with Notre Dame in all of FBS.
01:21And John A. Barron was one of the best to do it last year at the FBS level.
01:24Again, the Thorpe Award winner for the best DB in all of college football,
01:28even beating out Travis Hunter for that nod.
01:32The draft position prop on Barron, 17 and a half.
01:35The under had some slight juice, but not drastically off that range.
01:39John A. Barron was a minus 190 favorite to be the first cornerback, not named Travis Hunter, selected tonight.
01:46He beats out Will Johnson in that market earlier in the week.
01:50It was Johnson as the odds on favor.
01:52To the Broncos, a slight surprise at the 20th overall pick, selecting John A. Barron.
