The Denver Broncos are at a pivotal fork in the road with the NFL draft just two days away.
. Much like the mock draftsters and insiders across the fruited plain, Broncos Country wants to know how the Wilson acquisition affects Denver's plan at quarterback entering the NFL draft.
"The Denver Broncos’ acquisition of Zach Wilson adds another layer to their quarterback situation heading into Thursday. Denver has done its homework on the draft class—they hosted Penix on a 30 visit, and traveled to Michigan to work out J.J. McCarthy—but has other needs to address and no second-round pick. So while Denver’s sniffed around on trading up, they’ve also made calls on moving down. The connections to Oregon’s Bo Nix have persisted.
But not everyone outside the league is convinced that Nix is a first-round-caliber quarterback. However, if the Broncos pass on taking a quarterback at No. 12, they'd have to wait until the third round and the No. 76 overall selection before they'll be on the clock again — barring a trade. It's hard to see the Raiders not taking a quarterback at No. 13, whether the Broncos stand pat and take one, trade up or trade back. With Williams, Daniels, Maye, and McCarthy expected to be long gone by then, that means the Raiders would likely be choosing between Nix and Washington's Michael Penix Jr. at No .13, giving the Broncos less than 50/50 odds that the Oregon QB will still be available in the event of a trade-back.
