The Lead
With the draft just a day away, speculation of how the first round will unfold is ramping up significantly. In particular, most fans and most Broncos fans, probably, too are interested in how the quarterbacks will come off the board in the top 10.
To some analysts, the Broncos decision is not up for debate. NFL.com s Adam Schein wrote that Denver MUST take a quarterback . Holding the No. 9 overall pick, Paton and Co. have to do what they can to find the solution on Thursday night, Schein wrote. They can t be afraid of moving up a slot or two if Justin Fields and/or Trey Lance is available.

With the NFL draft exactly one week out, Denver Broncos GM George Paton held court at UCHealth Training Center on Thursday. In his first true pre-draft press conference as a general manager, Paton fielded questions and answered quite earnestly, while still keeping his cards close to the vest.
If we ve learned anything about Paton through three months, it s that his poker game is on point. On the subject of the quarterback position, Paton talked about how the 2021 first-round crop features some elite athletes with limitless ceilings, depending on what your flavor is.
Holding the No. 9 overall pick, many Broncos fans hope Paton uses it (or leverages it) to take one of the top-5 QBs in the class. Only time will tell on that front. Meanwhile, after talking at length about his objective to add competition to the Broncos QB room when he first arrived in Denver, Paton has yet to make a single move there.
