The Denver Broncos were able to snag a quarterback with the 12th pick of the NFL Draft Thursday night, and they seem happy it was Bo Nix.
As quarterbacks flew off the board early, the Denver Broncos were left with one man in Bo Nix. Entering Thursday night, the Broncos' quarterback room consisted of Zach Wilson, Jarrett Stidham and Ben DiNucci, and the team had little draft capital to trade up. But Denver sure seems happy with the guy who fell in their lap.
He's extremely intelligent, really smart. He handled a lot of the protections,' Payton said Thursday night, shortly after the Broncos took the Oregon quarterback. 'When you watch him, it's pretty calming. He's very efficient, and it's not just because of the . You see a ton of NFL throws in their offense.' Payton even joked that he was getting frustrated when analysts hyped Nix up.
