Barron is projected to be the Broncos' starting slot cornerback on a defense that's projected to be number one in the NFL.

That leaves one Broncos draft pick left unsigned: second-round pick RJ Harvey.

The running back is one of 30 second-round picks across the NFL still unsigned. The holdout comes after the Cleveland Browns and Houston Texans gave their second-round picks fully guaranteed contracts.

We'll see how quickly this gets resolved and when Harvey gets into training camp.
