Are the Denver Broncos really going to stick with a standard draft approach and settle for whatever quarterback falls to them at pick No. 12?
Not if new head coach Sean Payton has anything to say about it. Known for his competitive nature and aversion to developing rookie quarterbacks, Payton has a history of seeking out experienced signal callers.
While some coaches excel at guiding young quarterbacks, others, like Payton, prefer to work with established veterans. Payton’s track record with Drew Brees and his flirtation with Tom Brady in Miami suggest that he may not have the patience for grooming a rookie QB. Add in the pressure of the Broncos’ ownership change and Payton’s hefty contract, and it’s clear that the coach is motivated to deliver results quickly.
With the quarterback market thinning out and the draft approaching, Payton may be eyeing big-name options like Dak Prescott, Daniel Jones, Jared Goff, or possibly even Deshaun Watson. The Broncos have the resources to make a move, and Payton’s ambitious mindset suggests that he won’t settle for mediocrity at the game’s most crucial position.
As the NFL offseason progresses, it’s important to remember that coaches like Payton are always looking for that winning edge, even if it means going against the grain.
And with the road to success in the AFC running through Patrick Mahomes, the Broncos and their head coach are likely plotting a bold and ambitious course of action for the upcoming season.
