Sean Payton not only defended his first-round quarterback, but he also flexed on behalf of Bo Nix.
' selection at No. 12 overall in the draft, Sean Payton has a message for you. It's an empathetic one because he understands that you've likely been misled by what he calls 'the NFL train,' but it's also quite blunt, as is his way.
"Honestly, in my opinion, humbly, I don’t know how many great evaluators are out there," Payton said of the draft media landscape. "It’s a tough position to evaluate to begin with and I think once we knew that Bo was the guy we were going to draft, we knew that we couldn’t be the only team seeing what we were seeing. And come to find out, we weren’t. I’m just going to say that relative to teams behind us.
The further we get into the offseason training program, the more circumstantial evidence has emerged to back up Payton's claim that he had his sights set on Nix. There were multiple teams ready to take Nix off the board behind the Broncos, if Payton had balked, like the "There was a lot made of his offense. I’ve heard it a million times," Payton said. "‘He led college football with the most quick throws.’ We got it. We understand all that. Then when we analytically remove all the quick throws from every quarterback, he was still first in his class, first in his class, first in his class, accuracy, touchdowns-to-interceptions—all these recordables. Sacks… the guy gets rid of the ball. There’s so many things that we kept seeing on tape.
When it comes to Nix's pre-draft stock, another common trope was the Drew Brees comparison, which immediately connected him to Payton and the Broncos by default. Watch Nix's tape at Oregon, and the similarities he shares with Brees quickly become evident, even if he is a bit bigger, stronger, and faster than the future Hall-of-Famer.
