#Broncos HC Sean Payton and GM George Paton tell media they had targeted QB Bo Nix and felt comfortable once NYG at 6 went WR. But then Falcons unexpected went QB at 8 and they worried Nix suddenly could be at risk.

Tyler Guyton is the 5th offensive lineman drafted by the #Cowboys in the 1st Round in the last 40 years. The previous 4 were all selected to the Pro Bowl: Tyron Smith, Travis Frederick, Zack Martin, Tyler Smith.

Dak Prescott took 39 sacks last season, 2nd most of his career and his most since 2019 (56). The #Cowboys lost their starting LT (Tyron Smith) and starting C (Tyler Biadasz) to free agency this offseason.

Xavier Worthy set the combine 40-yard dash record.

Worthy is the first wide receiver selected by the Chiefs in the 1st Round since Jon Baldwin in 2011. Kansas City was 1 of 3 teams that didn't draft a 1st-Round WR from 2012-23.

QB Bo Nix on being drafted by the #Broncos : “They came out to Eugene; they had some Zooms and all that stuff. To be honest with you, you never know until you get the phone call, and you hear your name called on TV. Again, I just can’t say how excited I am to be a part of this…

With five QBs off the board and Raiders with next pick, Broncos couldn’t risk Nix.

Harbaugh said he stayed in the #Chargers draft room and saw JJ McCarthy get picked by the #Vikings .
