Kary Vincent, Jr., cornerback
The Broncos are just fine at the cornerback position, they saw to that this offseason with the additions of Ronald Darby, Kyle Fuller, and first-round draft pick Patrick Surtain. But Kary Vincent is largely overlooked.
If you go and find some of the 53-man roster projections for the Broncos that are out there now, free of them are predicting that Vincent will make the team, but I don’t see how Denver can leave him off.
The Broncos were able to get Vincent in the seventh round of the draft but he had the ability to be taken much, much earlier than that. His speed alone is one of the reasons he should not be ignored but he also has good ball skills and could become the prototypical nickel corner in the league.
The Broncos would probably like to get Vincent on the practice squad but because teams can poach players from practice squads at will, it would be a risky move. There’s also the matter of him having to clear waivers because he would first have to be waived.
Vincent could be one of the steals of this draft and even if he doesn’t make a great impact as a rookie, he could in the near future. The Broncos need to find a way to keep this guy on the roster and let him develop into the player he can be.
