The Denver Broncos weren't about to look the Bo Nix gift-horse in the mouth.
rookie quarterback Bo Nix has more than enough on his plate without having to shake off the dogged perception that he was a major draft-day"reach." The widely perceived notion, especially in national media, is that the Broncos could and should have somehow traded down instead of taking Nix.
Had the Broncos' front office opted to hedge its bet, it would have been taking a major risk that could have left the team empty-handed once again at the most important position on the field. In the final analysis, it simply wasn't a viable option for Denver, especially without a second-round pick to create some additional leverage.
While some sections of the media and Broncos Country might continue to poke holes in Sean Payton and George Paton's overall strategy, the fact is, by standing pat at No. 12 overall, they understood that with Nix on the table, one in the hand was worth two in the bush.
