Broncos' Young OL Receives Huge Props From Analytics Giant
If Denver Broncos GM George Paton can get creative and juggle his salary cap figures accordingly, perhaps room can be found to extend right guard Quinn Meinerz. Meinerz is quite valuable to Sean Payton's youth movement in Denver. Further confirmation of just how quickly Meinerz's stock has risen in the NFL arrived via Pro Football Focus' Thomas Valentine, who recently ranked the Broncos brawler as the fifth-best guard in the NFL.

Expert Commentary
Quarterback thirst has officially gone too far. There’s simply no need for the Broncos to force this pick here. Bo Nix does not have the profile of the quarterback that’s going to save Denver. Bo Nix, Zach Wilson and Jarrett Stidham will battle it out this summer for the right to be the starter, but Nix is closer to being a backup in the NFL than a franchise starter.

The Broncos needed a pass rusher and Elliss is a great value at this point in the draft. He’s a high-floor guy who should be able to start right away.
