First Round

ARLINGTON, TX – DECEMBER 29: Sam Darnold
ARLINGTON, TX – DECEMBER 29: Sam Darnold

Baker Mayfield could easily be the choice for the Broncos given the team is coaching him in the Senior Bowl. Yet, a potential trade shook up the NFL Draft between the Cleveland Browns and Kansas City Chiefs.

The Browns selected Josh Allen after the trade. Mayfield is another likely choice given the swagger and chip on the shoulder mentality like the Broncos defense. Furthermore, the Broncos will have interest in all three of the top three quarterbacks.

However, Josh Rosen appears likely headed to the New York Giants. Moreover, this leaves an opening for the Broncos to choose Darnold or Mayfield. There is no wrong answer here.
