In our last mock draft three weeks ago, we debated the wisdom of the Denver Broncos going with quarterback in Round 1 or perhaps having a shot at one they like in Round 2. Since then, however, the buzz that a handful of teams are enamored enough with Duke QB Daniel Jones to push him into the first round has raged.
That’s wild in our minds; Jones shouldn’t be a top-20 prospect in this or any draft. But perhaps him potentially going that high saves the Broncos from themselves, or at the very least it might allow them to pay a less premium price at the position lower in the draft and still find a relatively good fit.
