Let’s grade the Denver Broncos first round pick of Oregon quarterback Bo Nix.
The Denver Broncos decided to stand firm with the 12th overall pick and take Oregon quarterback Bo Nix. Most had them trade back and still getting Bo Nix, but most mock drafts did not have all six quarterbacks going within the first 12 picks. That kind of forced Denver’s hand tonight.
Nix met with the media via conference call soon after being drafted and noted how many concepts Sean Payton runs that he was already familiar with during his time at Oregon saying, “I think when you look at their offense, when you look at the scheme, [there are] a lot of really fun concepts that I’ve run in the past, a lot of fun things that I’ve been able to do and have success in. We were able to just talk over those and communicate those. I believe just talking football is one of the best things you can do in the process and that’s what we did a lot of.”
The fit was so obvious to many pundits that Bo Nix was the clear favorite for Denver in most mocks and that is exactly how it played out.
Give the pick a grade below and I’ll share the results tomorrow!
