I get that NFL stereotypes would say he should play lighter, but he’s been very successful in the 340s. Sure he can’t play in every scheme at that weight, but it’s not like the scheme he’s been great in is a novelty offense. We run very common NFL blocking concepts. He’s been consistently successful, in an NFL scheme, against future NFL players. He has no major medical issues. The best indicator of future production is past production. Unless teams found something unknown in the medicals or something to be scared of in the personal background info, it doesn’t make sense for him to go later than 4th round.
I mean the Broncos drafted a division 3 guard in the 3rd round. That’s a guy with so much unknown, his only experience with good competition is a week at the senior bowl.
Meanwhile, cornbread, just this year has blocked with great success Bobby Brown, Tyler Shelvin, and Tedarrell Slaton. All DTs who went ahead of Deonte in the draft. Not to mention all of the past and future draft picks he’s played (and practiced) against with a track record of success.

You still have to look at need and scheme. The Broncos are deep at Oline and that kid they took has a ton of upside so they took him. A lot of teams are drafting tackles to play guard cause they want more athletic guys. I get it we love Corn bread but he was in the 7-10 range of guards in this draft and he went 8. He has done well for himself and I wish the best for him.
