00:00 She says, I have a feeling that we won't get our franchise quarterback in the draft this year.
00:05 Minnesota's will move up for JJ McCarthy.
00:09 What's the next move?
00:11 Zach, what do you think's going on with Minnesota?
00:14 And how does that affect the Broncos hopes?
00:16 - Yeah, it's unfortunate.
00:17 Sorry, it's unfortunate they acquired more capital because it does look like they're
00:21 going to chase McCarthy and they're in a much better position to go after McCarthy
00:25 if that's who they want.
00:26 But we don't know, Michaela, if McCarthy is who the Broncos want.
00:29 We're all speculating that.
00:30 Only Sean Payton knows.
00:32 For all we know, it could be Bo Nix.
00:33 For all we know, it could be Michael Penix or Rattler or, you know, dare I say, Joe Milton.
00:38 We just don't know yet.
00:40 But even if the Broncos lose out on JJ, if they do settle for Bo Nix, he's not my plan A,
00:46 but I do think they'd be okay, Chad.
00:48 I do think Bo Nix could run the Sean Payton offense and at least give the Broncos a quarterback
00:52 to grow with a little bit.
00:54 - Look, I would be here for Bo Nix to the Broncos.
00:59 At 12, you know, our draft guys start getting real kind of up in arms about the value of it,
01:05 which, you know, I'm not discounting that.
01:08 It's a thing.
01:09 Maybe you can afford to trade back and still get your guy and whatnot.
01:15 But just the prospect straight up of Bo Nix landing in Denver, I think the fit, arguably,
01:22 of all the quarterbacks, it might be the best for Sean Payton.
01:25 As far as fit is concerned, I'm not talking about arm strength.
01:28 I'm not talking about like the whole package, but of this class, which quarterbacks are best,
01:36 would be best suited to run the Sean Payton thing?
01:38 You know, you think back to the best, the tippity top good times of the New Orleans Saints,
01:43 all those years with Drew Brees.
01:45 And I mean, Bo Nix, it's hard to argue that he wouldn't be just from a fit perspective,
01:52 the best guy for Sean Payton.
01:54 So if that's how it looks like to, you know, on the outside looking in,
01:58 maybe that's what they're thinking on the inside looking out, so to speak.
