Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix and New Orleans Saints signal caller Spencer Rattler may have been selected 138 picks apart in the 2024 NFL Draft, but some scouts had the two ranked similarly, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
"Make no mistake, Rattler is not perceived as 138 picks worse than Bo Nix—some evaluators had him awfully close to the same tier as Nix," Fowler wrote.
Rattler fell to the fifth round in part because the Atlanta Falcons and Broncos, who were "extremely high" on the former South Carolina quarterback, already used top-12 picks on quarterbacks, Fowler noted.
