Broncos sign third-rounder J.D. Walton

J.D. Walton The Denver Broncos came to terms with offensive lineman J.D. Walton, whom they selected in the third round (80th overall) of the 2010 NFL Draft, the club announced Thursday. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Walton (6′3″, 305 lbs.) has been working at first-team center in organized team activities, while fellow rookie Zane Beadles has been starting at left guard.
