I don’t know how to run a poll, but it’d be interesting to see a poll on people who think Nix is better than Wilson and Stidham……because they’re all the same age and Nix is probably the least talented of the group. Oh I don’t agree with that at all. In terms of raw physical talent Wilson is the best. But I first talked about Nix as a possible “future first rounder” the year we drafted PS2. He’s had the tools, he just didn’t have the accuracy. Now the narrative has flipped that he’s just a dunk and dunk passer. Again, I don’t love the pick at 12 but it’s not like we reached for a 3rd rounder here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My opinion is he’s had Nix targeted for awhile and if he didn’t I think it makes this selection even worse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKRNA Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 5 minutes ago, AnAngryAmerican said: Well I’m not going to root against him. He was drafted about 30 picks too high. But he is nothing impressive from a physical standpoint, he ran a gimmick offense in a conference that doesn’t play defense and they think he can adjust to Sean’s offense in the NFL? Lammey was just calling him a super computer. My five year old could run that Oregon offense which is almost entirely side to side. And with the talent left on the board? The Raider got a top-5 talent. The Chargers got the best OL in the class. We took a second round QB at 12. Just so disappointing. And the offense we run is North/South. Lots of vertical. Oh well, it is the first time in his life Sean had full control of a draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he were targeting Nix why did we even bother to trade for Wilson? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnAngryAmerican Posted April 26 Author Share Posted April 26 Now, I don’t think Nix is going to be a full out bust, a la Paxton Lynch, but what’s the absolute ceiling? Derek Carr maybe? In a division that has Mahomes/Reid and Herbert/Harbaugh. Oof. Should have built the roster. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I saw that all 11 players drafted before us were all Offensive I would have bet the farm we'd go defense. Really, how many times do you get your pick of the best defensive players in college. What a let down. Oh well, let's go Bo. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullsandBroncos Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 What does Bo have to work with besides an unproven Marvin Mims, a beat up Javonte Williams, and a pissed off Courtland Sutton? did the Walmarts make him pick a QB to get people invested in the team?

I understand the position isn’t all about talent, but man it’s hard to sit and be excited drafting an at best NFL average talent at QB at 12 overall.

Cutler06 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 First 14 players drafted were on the offensive side of the ball, now the run on defenders is happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, I don’t think the Walmarts are those kinds of owners. This pick does have the added benefit of creating buzz and getting the casual fans excited. Is it a pick that’s going to help us win games, however, I don’t think so. If Nix maxes out, he’s an above average starter, a competent game manager, good enough that with a good roster around him, we can contend for a wild card spot.

germ-x Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 What’s crazy is almost 20 years ago Denver took Jay Cutler at #11. That’s how much the game has changed. We’re sitting here trying to get excited about Bo Nix at #12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the league clearly felt the same. Now, there weren't any elite QBs after (arguably) the top three as well but here we are...

We loved the Russ trade, wanted to trade for Rodgers and hated passing on Fields and Rosen before him. 41 minutes ago, broncos_fan _from _uk said: You know how I know this will work out?

That’s actually funny at the same time true. I’m sure most will come around. I just hope the player will too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
