A year ago, the question was whether Sean Payton could revive Russell Wilson's career after a brutal first season in Denver. The answer was no. The two of them never seemed to be on the same page, and the Broncos cut ties with Wilson, absorbing a massive $53 million in dead cap. Rather than sign a veteran, the team drafted Nix with the 12th overall pick, which seemed like a pretty significant reach with many publications putting a second- or third-round grade on him.
At this point, Nix is locked in a three-way battle with veteran Jarrett Stidham, who started the final two games of 2023, and Zach Wilson, the former No. 2 overall pick that flamed out in New York. To be clear, Payton drafted Nix to develop him now, so even if Stidham is QB1 in September, the odds are that the rookie will see the majority of the snaps in 2024.
Nix started 61 games in college, which is the most in FBS history, so he has some experience. He has good athleticism, throws an accurate ball, and makes sound decisions. Expect Payton to heavily manage him, though, leaning on the running and short-passing games no matter who is under center. Nix is a low-ceiling option that shouldn't generate much interest outside keeper formats.
