In a historic move during the 2024 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos selected Oregon quarterback Bo Nix with the 12th overall pick. This selection marks a significant moment as it ties the record for the most quarterbacks taken in the first round, with six quarterbacks drafted among the first twelve picks. Bo Nix, known for his accuracy and low turnover rate, set an NCAA record for being the most accurate quarterback in college football last year. His addition to the Broncos is seen as a strategic pick by Sean Payton, marking his first time selecting a quarterback in the first round. Notably, no defensive players were selected in the top 13 picks of the draft.

That's six quarterbacks in the first 12 picks... and a happy #Chiefs draft room.
Bo Nix is the seventh Oregon quarterback and 22nd player in program history to be picked in the first round of the NFL draft, including 10 since 2013.
As the #12 overall #NFLdraft pick, QB Bo Nix should sign a 4 year, fully guaranteed $18.6M contract with the #Broncos, including a $10.3M signing bonus, & a 5th year option in 2028. https://t.co/usMRA6GIIi https://t.co/QuxByHHr8a
The Broncos go Bo Nix. Great fit for their system. That's six QB's in the first 12 picks. Unreal. #NFLdraft
Six of first 12 picks are QBs... and one of the teams that didn't take one with a pick took one with their other pick!
Bo Nix to the Broncos at #12. That ties a record for most QBs taken in the first round at 6. Sean Payton picks a QB for the first time in the first round. And we have yet to see a defensive player off the board.
Bo Nix is last QB chance for Sean Payton in first round. As I said previously, I canβt see the #Broncos wasting another season with current QB room. Will he be the pick? Nix started 61 games in his 5-year collegiate career, the most of any player in FBS history.

Bo Nix to Denver. Maybe too high but they had to go QB based on four going in the top 11. Itβs a great landing spot. Sean Payton hopes he has his next Drew Brees.
The Broncos take the sixth quarterback off the board at No. 12 in Bo Nix, the Oregon quarterback who threw for 45 touchdowns and three interceptions last season, Heisman finalist. First QB selected by Denver in the first round since 2016.
