Denver Broncos mock draft: Round 5, 153rd overall

Kary Vincent Jr.. 5. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. DB. LSU. 817

Kary Vincent Jr. is an undersized cornerback prospect who is unlikely to be able to handle outside cornerback duties at the next level. That being said, he is an extremely quick and athletic player who has exciting upside if he develops properly and is put in a position to succeed.

Vincent is an exciting slot cornerback prospect who the Broncos could develop slowly and prepare him for the future. With Bryce Callahan hitting free agency next offseason, slot cornerback could quickly become a position of need for this team. Adding Vincent to the mix now would allow the Broncos to develop him as the future slot cornerback and let Callahan walk next offseason if they feel like Vincent is ready.

He also seemingly has some safety versatility, which could certainly come in handy if he is needed as more of a bench depth player. Simply put, Vincent is a talented cornerback prospect who could quickly grow into an important player for this team. Not bad for a fifth-round selection.

Denver Broncos mock draft: Round 6, 193rd overall

OL. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. player. 878. Iowa. Alaric Jackson. 6

Alaric Jackson was a strong and stable left tackle at Iowa who has been an important part of one of the best offensive lines in college football for the last four years. That being said, Jackson does not have ideal arm length and foot quickness to play offensive tackle at the next level and that has undoubtedly hurt his value as a 2021 NFL Draft prospect.

While Jackson is not a perfect prospect, there is still plenty that he does well. He is an extremely powerful player who shines when he is allowed to play aggressively and attack forward. He clears out lanes in the run game with ease and shows good anchor as a pass protector. Personally, I like Jackson as an offensive guard at the next level. Taking him late, immediately moving him inside to guard and letting him grow on the inside feels like a strong plan of attack for any NFL team.
