I'm Cody Rourke, Broncos reporter for Mile High Sports, joined alongside, as always, by Sarah Bettinger, site expert over there, predominantlyorange.com.

And as always, the Broncos keep us in the content cycle.

It's churning and churning ahead of the NFL draft.

We've all been talking about, will the Broncos go with a quarterback in round one of the 2024 NFL draft?

Well, the Broncos just went with a quarterback via trade in the days building up.

to the NFL draft, acquiring former Jets quarterback, first round pick, second overall, Zach Wilson in the 2021 NFL draft.

They acquired him with a late round pick swap.

And Sarah, I think the number one question we got to ask and really to kick off the meat and bones of today's episode of the show, a lot of people are wondering, is the addition of Zach Wilson via trade, does that take the Broncos out of going with a quarterback potentially in round one of the NFL draft?

What does this do for them going into Thursday?

Well, I think that probably presents a more likely case, right?

You know, you mentioned it, I think.

The addition of Zach Wilson, it shouldn't eliminate the Broncos from going with the quarterback, whether that's round one or whether that's the later rounds.

Here's what I believe is probably going to be the more realistic option here for Denver, Sarah.

I think, as you mentioned, other positions, other players now, there's an opportunity to be had.

Look, you go back to the 2019 NFL draft, what happened?

The Broncos had a pretty decent draft.
