King: 'Expect' Broncos 'to Sniff Around' Aidan O'Connell Despite Russell Wilson Deal

The Denver Broncos may be in the quarterback market during the upcoming NFL draft, according to NBC Sports' Peter King.

After dealing their first and second-round picks to Seattle in the trade for Russell Wilson last year, the Broncos' first selections come in the third round at Nos. 67 and 68 overall. And that's where King expects the organization to possibly take a quarterback, namely Purdue's Aidan O'Connell.

King believes the organization will "sniff around" the 24-year-old signal-caller.

Denver has already bolstered the depth behind Wilson, who signed a five-year, $242 million contract that runs through the 2028 season.
