DRAFT PICK: 1st Round (#12 Overall Pick)
TEAM: Denver Broncos
ROOKIE DRAFT ANALYSIS: Bo Nix is routinely falling to Round 2 in rookie drafts despite being selected twelfth overall and having a clear path to being an instant starting quarterback. At cost, most people wouldn’t bat an eye and would select the guaranteed points in a Superflex league.
With first-round quarterbacks only hitting at a 46% rate, history suggests that only two or three of the rookie signal callers will be a success at the next level. There was not much to like about Nix as a prospect given that the scheme he played in at Oregon rarely had him throwing the ball down the field. As a matter of fact, nearly 30% of his passes were thrown behind the line of scrimmage last season.
He won’t have much help at the receiver position with his top pass catchers being Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, Marvin Mims, and Josh Reynolds. Pass on Nix for receiver upside - there is a lot of it available in this draft.
Broncos are drafting Oregon QB Bo Nix with the No. 12 overall pick 🔥
Set an NCAA record as the MOST ACCURATE QB in college football last year 🎯
