It's absolutely amazing sitting here reading Broncos fans twisting themselves all up trying to justify the drafting of a 2nd or 3rd round prospect at #12 because their FO panicked when they saw a run on QBs. The one they wanted was taken before they picked.
None of you all wanted Nix and now you are trying hard to justify him. Denver would have been better off drafting Rattler later in the draft vs wasting a pick on "more athletic Drew Brees".

People look at Nix's comp% and think that's a sign of great accuracy, but he really isn't that accurate. His ball placement isn't that great and he makes receivers dig out tough grabs. Also, his eyes speed up on him and he breezes through progressions too fast.
Denver fans highlight his completion rate and TD/int ratio, while leaving out that his average depth of target was third lowest in FBS.
Nix is far more likely to be a bottom half or middle of the road starter than a top 10 guy.
