All 32 projected starting QBs (including Bo Nix) ranked by PFF grades

Denver Broncos fans know all too well that it takes a franchise quarterback to win at the highest level in the NFL.

After helping the team reach two Super Bowls in four years, Peyton Manning retired following the 2015 season. Since then, the Broncos have had 13 different starting quarterbacks.

Denver’s recent quarterbacks have had varying levels of success, with Trevor Siemian the only full-time starter to post a winning record (13-11). The Broncos struck out in the draft with Brock Osweiler, Paxton Lynch and Drew Lock, in free agency with Case Keenum, and via trade with Joe Flacco and Russell Wilson.

Now fans in Denver will hope that first-round pick Bo Nix will finally provide a long-term solution at quarterback.

Andrew Harbaugh of Vikings Wire recently compiled Pro Football Focus grades for all 32 (projected) starting quarterbacks, including college grades for rookie QBs. See where Nix stacks up below.
