The Denver Broncos drafted Bo Nix with the 12th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and also traded for John Franklin-Myers from the New York Jets. Is Bo Nix a GREAT fit for Sean Payton and the Denver Broncos’ offense? Why was John Franklin-Myers a GREAT trade for the Denver Broncos and Vance Joseph?

Bo nix is better than the Russell Wilson experiment

[@MrMakinmoney07]

We'll see

[@cjcurtis8944]

Bo Nix will absolutely surprise. The Raiders were going to take him for sure. It wasn’t a reach. Bo’s a perfect fit for Payton’s offense. Taking Troy Franklin will absolutely be a mutual benefit as well.

Telesco said he wouldn't have traded up for any QB after the top 3 was taken.

Broncos had no choice they didn't have a 2nd round pick, and Bo Nix wouldn't be there in 3rd round! Probably Raiders would have picked him at 13th.

[@tdor9963]

[@arthurwilliams7886]

Troy Franklin was a steal to get him in 4th rd! Not sure why he fell that far. He should have been a 2nd rounder.

[@cannon5kid]

Small frame, small hands, ran slower than anticipated, high drop rate. He’s got red flags even if I like him

[@seevendaycandle1]

Bo nix should definitely be happy about denver drafting him

[@darnellbuggs3474]

I look at it like are we better with bo nix or russel wilson? We won an alright number of close games last year with an improved run game and nix making competent throws we should do ok.

[@matthewhunt1294]

Don’t sleep on Zach Wilson

[@timwhitlock3500]

Yes! Zach has three years of NFL experience, albeit in a bad situation with the Jets, and a cannon of an arm. I think this gives him a leg up on the starting job and he still could live up to his first round potential.

The combine should be the end of Feb. The Draft in the middle of March and then Free agency the the day after the third day of the draft.

[@lonestarpatriot876]

26% of 1st round QB's find success in the league. So, about 1, maybe 2 of the 6 will be successful in the league. That means there will be a huge percentage of analysts and armchair (KZbin) draft analysts who are wrong. They will all convince you Nix was a questionable pick while watching the guy picked ahead of him, and that they are guaranteeing will be a star, fail. There needs to be a channel that analyzes and grades NFL Draft analysts and how accurate they are. If we had that, everyone would realize they are right less than 26% of the time. Instead of calling them experts, we need to ask who is the better, wrong guy?

[@seannichols4427]

Thats not really how statistics work my friend. That 26%is spread over all qbs over all years. So one year there could be 0 that work out and another could have 4. You never know which. I think probably 3 out of 6 succeed.

[@jordanthompson901]

I have been saying this. Why do these scouts, analysts, and even gm's get to continually miss on picks and we act like these guys know anything lol. Sure it's hard to evaluate talent, but when you see certain trends in tape it "should" be the most important. You always hear about these raw talents or players who need development yet how often do those players ever hit?? The coaching for the most part in the nfl is shit. So when you have a quality product going to a coach who actually develops talent you should have hope.

[@lonestarpatriot876]

@seannichols4427 I know how statistics work. Clearly, one year, you could have 1 out of 6 succeed, while in another year, you could have 0 out of 5. You also could end up with an overall average of 26% for all years. The point is that the so-called experts are rarely right. If I had to guess, I would say that 1 or 2 of the guys just drafted in the first round become franchise QB's. Let's look at what was considered a very good QB 1st round in 2021. Lawrence, Wilson, Lance, Fields, and Jones. Four of those guys already got traded and are back-ups, and Lawrence is still a question mark. I mean, the QB who has won the most SB's by a longshot was drafted 199th overall. Brock Purdy was drafted last! None of these experts had either guy even making a practice squad.

[@lonestarpatriot876]

@jordanthompson901 Yea, I think that what happens too often is scouts and analysts get too caught up in things they can measure and athletic ability, and miss the more important things that they can't measure. I mean, Tom Brady was as unathletic as it gets. I felt bad for him watching him run the 40 at the Combine. I felt bad for him in the pictures of him just wearing shorts at the Combine because he looked like he was in terrible shape. There was nothing about him that stood out if you were just using a stop watch and measuring every inch of him. The great QB's are unbelievable processors. It is their mental ability that puts them above the rest. They could also have great physical gifts, but it is the great processing and mental make-up that turns them into franchise QB's. I believe Bo Nix has that.

[@jordanthompson901]

@@lonestarpatriot876 Yea I agree with you no doubt on Brady. But what most people in my opinion forget/use against Bo is that he was the number 1 dual threat quarterback coming into college. He had a terrible go at Auburn because he relied way to much on his athletic ability his first 3 years and he also had 3 pretty bad offensive coordinators and 2 very mediocre coaches. He went to Oregon and tried to refine his passing instead of relying on his athleticism and he clearly improved from his 4th to 5th year until they let him play an offense that maximized what he is good at which is processing like you said. Let alone his accuracy and arm got better year after year. It just seems to be a narrative that he is what he was at Auburn or that he doesn't have a good arm because of the offense at Oregon. When in reality he has the athleticism still in droves, but he has refined himself as a passer so people knock him for becoming accurate. It's very weird IMO because having no leg in the fight but watch college football pretty religiously I dont get how someone can watch his career and say he is less talented than 5 other quarterbacks....

[@Beavis1]

The Broncos' biggest weakness on defense remains Vance Joseph.

[@davidlee32]

Gotta give him credit tho he turned that defense around after that Mia game

[@mysteriousviper8]

I think the weakness is talent. Right now we have a talented back and midfield and have gotten better with upfront. But it still needs more. And LBs are 50% great 50% Unknown/bad

[@eternalgamers10]

Vance Joseph is fine, if he didn't turn it around after the Dolphins game, sure I'd agree with you but in this case I have to respectfully disagree with your opinion.

[@Beavis1]

@@eternalgamers10 He took a top 5 defense from the year before and turned it into a bottom 5 defense in one year and you want to say he "turned it around" after the Miami game? Did you stop watching after that game? VJ is terrible at his job - full stop. This isn't subjective, this is objective.
