Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels & Bo Nix among QBs projected to be drafted in first round
While the Broncos might not be as heavy favorites to draft Nix as the Chicago Bears are to draft Caleb Williams (-4000), the only other team with odds that short to draft a certain prospect is the Washington Commanders to select Jayden Daniels, which is also -150 on DraftKings Sportsbook.
Denver has an obvious need for a quarterback entering the draft. They put an end to the Russell Wilson experiment after two seasons earlier in the offseason, releasing Wilson despite his rich salary.
Denver hasn’t made a notable quarterback acquisition since then.
Jarrett Stidham, who started two games last season, would likely be the Broncos’ starting QB if the season started today and with Wilson’s big cap hit, the Broncos might need to find a cheaper salary option at signal-caller.
Sean Payton hinted that the Broncos could be taking a quarterback in the draft when he spoke with reporters at the NFL’s league meetings in late March. Payton also said it was “realistic” that the Broncos could trade up in the draft.
Brock Bowers & Bo Nix in Joel Klatt’s 2024 mock draft 2.0
FOX Sports’ Joel Klatt is among the group of analysts who think the Broncos and Nix are a good fit for each other. He had the Broncos selecting Nix with the 12th pick in his most recent mock draft, citing Nix’s playing style fitting into Payton’s system.
“Nix is a great fit for Sean Payton,” Klatt wrote. “He’s cerebral, accurate and perfectly suited to run Payton’s offense. I’ve been in that offense; he wants five free releases and Drew Brees 2.0. Nix may or may not be that, but he can be the point guard for Payton who gets the ball out on time.”
