Broncos name Bo Nix starting QB

With the 12th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos selected Oregon QB Bo Nix. Leaving no first round caliber quarterbacks on the board when the Raiders selected at 13 overall.

Nix was the sixth quarterback taken in April’s draft. And like several of the five selected ahead of him, he will be the team’s starter from day one.

The Broncos announced today that Nix will be the team’s starter. Nix won the job over Zach Wilson and Jarrett Stidham.

Should Nix hold down the job past the first quarter of the season, he is who will be behind center when the Raiders come to Denver in Week five.

The Raiders were also in a quarterback competition this offseason, with Gardner Minshew being named the starter earlier this week. So, they’re in the same boat in terms of who will be the starter initially in what is probably a wait-and-see approach in the first quarter of the season.
