It doesn’t feel like an NFL draft without speculation that the Broncos will select a quarterback in the first round.

“The term ‘boom or bust’ will be attached to Willis’ name frequently throughout the draft process, but the Broncos must address the one position that is holding its roster back from being a consistent AFC contender,” Reid writes. “Built like a tank in a 6-foot-1 frame, Willis has plenty of arm strength. He oozes athletic traits that evaluators love to see at the position.
