When a great player is recruited, nobody has any idea if he will be in the top group at his position or not. Bowens is a redshirt freshman, and could probably see too many people at his position, some of which may have moved ahead of him already. And then we have the true freshmen DL coming in... Whoever is at the bottom of a depth chart--will transfer. It is something I have to get used to still, but it is the reality when so many are being recruited.

Couldn't have happened to a better guy! I was pleasantly surprised at the pick by Denver and thought they may have traded "back" to pickup Nix in the second. I do believe the "crux" point was 5 quarterbacks taken in first ten picks. That run of QB's locked Bo into the Denver pick, if Denver was to draft a QB in this draft cycle. Of all the places he could have landed I believe Denver probably gives him the best situation towards success. With that team being in rebuilding mode after that disastrous trade with Seattle and an "experienced" NFL QB already onboard to carry the team for a couple years; Bo will have the opportunity to compete without necessarily being thrown into the fire as a rookie. Probably the best situation for him. (Unless of course he Earns the right of trial by fire...lol) The fact that we now shall be getting ten years or more of Mahomes/Herbert/Nix divisional battles, twice a year between each, has me giddy in anticipation of the entertainment value of AFC West football. Now lets get another half dozen or so Duck Draftees into the NFL over the next couple days. (Could Franklin drop to the third round and have Denver pick him up as a bookend to Bo?) The Duck force is strong with these playa's! GO Nix Broncos, Go Duck draftees, Go Duck Nation! Win the Draft!

Wow, stays at Auburn, may not get drafted. Transfers to Oregon, goes in the 1st round, keep the qb's, and elite transfers coming! I will also say Denver drafted him for all the right reasons, for both parties, well done!

Contract details for new Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM Former Oregon Ducks QB Bo Nix has been selected by the Denver Broncos in the 2024 NFL Draft. Here are the details of his contract.

No seat at the table for you Beavis. No seat at the table means "NO SOUP FOR YOU!"

Is Belichick going to just say he has reservations about all the first round QB's other than Williams?

Grinning Elway is the first thing that comes to mind for the hatred…for me at least. I had visions of Bo in the silver and black for a hot minute!

Glad Denver picked him, I think coaching-wise it was the best place for him. Now where’s JPJ?? Some center from Duke got picked before him?

Being a Raiders fan I'm not happy about this, for some reason I don't hate the Charges as much as I hate the Broncos.

He is an SEC guy through and through including his prediction that there was no way could beat Bama and no way Michigan could beat Bama. The 'new B1G' is ahead of the 'new SEC' through the pick Nix.

Perfect fit for BO. HUZZAH!

Booger McFarland has proven that he’s just a mouthpiece who doesn’t do any statistical research. He called Bo a “dink and dunk” passer at Oregon. He probably should’ve pulled his head out of his butt long enough to watch a Ducks game film.

Nix Selected 12th Overall by Broncos EUGENE, Ore. — Oregon quarterback Bo Nix was selected by the Denver Broncos with the No. 12 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft on Thursday night. Nix becomes the seventh Duck quarterback ever to be drafted in the first round, joining Justin Herbert (2020), Marcus Mariota (2015), Joey Harrington (2002), Akili Smith (1999), Chris Miller (1987) and George Shaw (1955). Oregon has now had a first-round pick in five straight NFL Drafts, with Nix following Herbert (2020), Penei Sewell (2021), Kayvon Thibodeaux (2022) and Christian Gonzalez (2023). Oregon now has 22 total first-round picks in program history, including 10 since 2013 and 13 since 2000. Nix becomes the first Duck ever to be taken by the Broncos in the first round and the 10th overall to be drafted by Denver, reuniting with former center Alex Forsyth who was a seventh-round pick in 2023. The fourth Heisman Trophy finalist in program history and fourth Duck to be named the conference offensive player of the year, Nix put together one of the greatest seasons ever by an Oregon quarterback in 2023 to cap his collegiate career. He led the nation in passing touchdowns (45) while ranking second in passing yards per game (322.0), passing yards (4,508) and passer rating (188.32), and he set a new NCAA single-season record with a stellar 77.45 completion percentage (364-of-470). Nix set Oregon single-season records for completions, passing yards and passing touchdowns, and became the first Duck ever to surpass 4,500 passing yards in a season. He also threw just three interceptions, becoming the first FBS player since at least 2000 to record at least 45 passing touchdowns and no more than three picks in a season. A native of Pinson, Ala., Nix left Oregon as the program’s all-time leader in completion percentage at 74.9% (658-of-879), and he is the only UO quarterback ever to post a completion percentage of 70.0 or better in a season, also doing so in 2022 (71.9, 294-of-409). Despite playing just two seasons in Eugene, Nix also ranks third in program history in career completions (658), third in passing touchdowns (74) and fifth in passing yards (8,101). Nix was also the winner of the 2023 William V. Campbell Trophy, presented to the nation’s top scholar-athlete for the best combination of academic success, athletic performance and exemplary leadership.

See the thread below and give us your thoughts on the NFL Draft.

At Wisconsin will be the 8th game in a row without a break. A week off before the last game of the season makes sense, right?

Agreed.

The game that makes me think about the challenges of moving to the B10 isn't actually Ohio St. or Michigan, it's Wisconsin. I can see Oregon beating either of those teams, getting up for those types of games, it's the game against a good Wisconsin squad, in Madison, late in the season, just before we play UW that makes me worried about the rigors of the B10 schedule that we now have. Are we going to be able to meet the challenge of going across the country for a third time, in bitter cold weather and pull out a victory against a program that will probably be chomping at the bit to beat us in our first matchup after the game in the Rose Bowl. I think we will, but those are the types of games that will be an extra challenge for us going forward I think.
