Broncos NFL draft: Mel Kiper on trading back, quarterback options after Joe Flacco addition

The Broncos’ immediate fix at quarterback arrives next season in veteran Joe Flacco, whom the team traded for last week.

But does a long-term answer under center exist in the 2019 NFL draft?

ESPN analyst Mel Kiper addressed that topic Tuesday during a media teleconference call in addition to potential quarterback options should Denver trade back from its No. 10 overall pick — where Kiper currently has the Broncos taking LSU cornerback Greedy Williams.

However, Kiper also projects four quarterbacks will be taken in the first round, including a pair of passers who might still be available should the Broncos slide back in the first: Missouri’s Drew Lock and Duke’s Daniel Jones.
