Denver Broncos Draft QB for Payton's System

0:00On April 19th, the Denver Broncos got Bohnix locked in as their starter, but they still need to snag a quarterback in this draft, even if it's late. Like the 7th round, teams always chased that position for the big payoff, especially with Sean Payton turning backups into gold. Jared Stidem's contract ends this year, and teams are sniffing around for a trade, while Sam Ellinger passed up other gigs to stick with Payton. That leaves Denver smart to draft the developmental arm now, in case Stidem bolts or Ellinger moves on over the next 11 months. This ain't the deepest quarterback class, but it got some hidden gyms worth a flyer on day 3. Fans and scouts buzzing about these athletic freaks who could spark the offense in wild ways, like Payton's old Tessam hilltricks, running, throwing, even catching. Think guys with live arms and legs that break tackles, but they need work on pocket feet and reeds to stick a QB. Breaking it down, prospects like Arkansas's tailing green bring elite speed and velocity but drift back too much, risking huge sacks.

1:02Baylor's Sawyer Robertson stays cool in the pocket, yet lacks zip outside. Clemson's Cade Klebnik got clean mechanics for rhythm throws, North Dakota states Cole Payton thrives on contact as a lefty roller, and Illinois's. Luke Altmeier leads smart, but misses tight windows. Payton can mold one into a multi-tool weapon or flip him to receiver, tied in, whatever fits, keeping Denver stacked deep no matter what shakes. Out this offseason.
