Sean Payton sends shock waves in the draft of the NFL, becoming a barron land

Sean Payton did it. Can you believe it? As expected, he sent tremors to the NFL draft with a shocking decision.

The most aggressive coach of the League, a man who called a kick in the Super Bowl and a false shift in the eliminatory match last January, made one of the most surprising choices on Thursday.

He remained in place at n ° 20 and took a cornerback.

Wait, what?

The Broncos have selected the star of Texas Jahdae Barron. They chose a defensive back with two runners – Omarion Hampton de Caroline du Nord and Treveyon Henderson de l’Ohio State – on the board of directors. They were interested in climbing, in several reports, creating speculation that they wanted Colston Loveland or Tyler Warren. The tight ends were taken by bears at No. 10 and the colts with the 14th selection. Payton insisted that they were not tempted to move forward.

The Broncos planned to come back for a runner, creating an easy avenue to add another choice of project.

In the end, they ordered vanilla ice cream and followed their board, the editorial simulations of us mocking us all.

“What do you want me to say? They are embarrassing,” said Payton with a smile.

Barron was a choice in chalk, too good to pass, too special to ignore when the Dolphins bypassed him at n ° 13. Daniel Jeremiah of the NFL Network ranked him as the eighth best player in the place. The value is therefore real. But reality makes you think.

This was put in place as a night to rejoice, to celebrate a skills player to stimulate Bo Nix.

Instead of stimulating their own game of passes, broncos continued to focus on the prevention of completions. Barron joins the heat research missile for a safety talanoa hufanga and the secondary Rangy Dre Greenlaw, the additions of a free agent for the defensive coordinator Vance Joseph this offseason.

Seriously, this could be one of the biggest surprises in the first round in the history of the Broncos, evoking the images of the quarter-back Tim Tebow in 2010 and the defensive back Willie Middlebrooks in 2001.

So we are clear. It has nothing to do with Barron. It was his position. Did the Broncos really need another corner? The answer, when it no longer visited our fantastic football goal, is yes.

Given a moment to think about the selection, another memory has surfaced. Remember when the Broncos chose Bradley Roby in the first round in 2014? The corner was hardly an urgent need. But with Roby’s ability to play nickel, it created the freedom to move Chris Harris Jr. and Aqib Talib in more favorable clashes. A good defense has become historic.

This could happen with Barron.

It was difficult to reconcile its name on the basis of the last months, given the need to invigorate a sorry ground attack which betrayed the broncos as losses. Going with Hampton or Henderson felt like an automotive choice – giving Denver a murderer to improve an offensive line that won in the race game, but was undermined by the disappointing carousel of Javonte Williams, Audric Estime and Jaleel McLaughlin.

So what does this choice mean? Two things. Broncos are comfortable to get a ball carrier on day 2, like Henderson – yes, he is still available – his teammate from the State of Ohio Quinkh Judkins or Dylan Sampson du Tennessee.

And they are not sold on the corner of the Ja’quan McMillian location. He is officially in opinion. And if Barron learns quickly, he could push Riley Moss to nickel. Put the band and Barron does everything. Covers. Plated. Learn.

“He can do both (inside and outside),” said Harris Jr., leader in the No Fly Zone 2015 area. “He’s a dog.”

Everything about Barron suggests that it will be a threat, adapting perfectly with the aggressive diagram of Joseph. He was the best defender of university football last season, eclipstating the hunter of Cu Travis for the price.

It brings size, speed and the best range than your mobile phone plan. And he is also a captain. Under the director general George Paton and Payton, the Broncos have a guy. They want leaders, players with an inextinguishable competitive spirit and a strong character.

Barron checks the boxes.

“He was not only a great defender, a big young man,” said Matthew McConaughey, the most famous Booster in Texas. “Broncos put a stallion on the ground. Injury ‘up. “

Barron was all for the Longhorns. And always anchored. He spent the hour before the church project, receiving lessons from his pastor to trust his faith. He was a lion all season, no reason to roar or complain about his next stop.

It’s funny, it was because he had the feeling that he was going to be Denver. He had called Pat SURINE II earlier in the week, bound by a shared financial advisor. They did not speak, but it will happen soon. Very soon.
