Report: Payton, Broncos Randomly Ranked QBs on NFL Draft Board to Hide Bo Nix Target
The Denver Broncos took a unique approach to hiding the team's interest in former Oregon quarterback Bo Nix ahead of the 2024 NFL draft.
According to Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer, head coach Sean Payton and the rest of Denver's front office had the quarterbacks in the 2024 class listed in "no particular order" on their draft board in order to "prevent any sort of bias in discussion and also, simply, to keep the brass' secret."
Nix was still available by the time the Broncos were on the clock and was subsequently selected by the team with the No. 12 overall pick.
