Round 1, No. 12 overall
“I’m not sure how this all works out for the Broncos. They could very well go up and get J.J. McCarthy, or they could hang tight at No. 12 and take Nix … or they could stay put and take the best player available (QB or non-QB). I do know there are fans of Nix in the building.
