ROUND PREDICTION: First Round (No. 29 Overall Pick)
TEAM PREDICTION: Denver Broncos (via Detroit Lions)
DRAFT ANALYSIS: After moving back twice, Denver ends up receiving No. 29, 50, 73, and 171 for picks 12 and 207 in this trade scenario. Not a bad haul at all. As the team currently sits in limbo at quarterback, you can't help but wonder if a player like Bo Nix might be on head coach Sean Payton's radar.
Nix has the most starts in college football history under his belt and is adept in the short passing game. That's a staple of the Saints offenses when they were coached by Sean Payton. The draft grades and projections for Nix are all over the board, but he's a high-character guy with a lot of experience who loves the game and has a better arm than he gets credit for. Seriously, though, trading back for Denver makes a lot of sense.
