McShay criticizes Broncos for 'arrogant' choice of Bo Nix as draft pick

Denver Broncos draft QB Bo Nix in 2024 NFL Draft, despite concerns about his first-round caliber, labeled as "arrogant pick".

The Denver Broncos made a bold move by selecting quarterback Bo Nix with the 12th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Head coach Sean Payton had his eye on Nix, but some experts believe the team could have waited to secure him later in the draft.

Former ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay expressed his opinion on Nix, stating that he sees him as a backup quarterback and that other teams did not view him as a first-round talent. Despite this, the Broncos took a chance on Nix, with McShay calling it an "arrogant pick."

McShay believes that Denver is a good fit for Nix, but questioned the decision to select him in the first round. Nix was the last quarterback taken in the first round, ranked as the fifth quarterback and 61st overall player in the draft by Bleacher Report.

While there were rumors that the Las Vegas Raiders were considering a quarterback at No. 13, they ultimately selected Michael Penix Jr., who went to the Atlanta Falcons. The Broncos' decision to draft Nix adds an intriguing dynamic to the quarterback landscape in the NFL.
