Sean Payton gets real on Broncos selecting franchise QB in 2024 NFL Draft

Head coach Sean Payton and the Denver Broncos are currently in the midst of what figures to be a highly important offseason for the future direction of the franchise following their disastrous 2023-24 campaign, which was Payton's first foray into head coaching since departing the New Orleans Saints. Despite expectations being through the roof, Payton was never quite able to get on the same page with quarterback Russell Wilson, who is now a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the Broncos ultimately were never able to overcome an (extremely) slow opening act to the season, missing out on a chance to compete in the NFL playoffs.
