NFL Draft 2012: Should Denver Broncos Draft A Quarterback In Round 2 Or 3?

Stay connected for news and updates

The Denver Broncos will now begin the long march to the 2012 NFL Draft, which will certainly be filled with plenty of speculation about the team drafting a quarterback at some point during the festivities. It is almost a foregone conclusion that the Broncos won't take a quarterback in the first round, especially since the team will pick at No. 25.

However, Sports Illustrated's Peter King believes the team will look at Rounds 2 or 3 to put a young quarterback on the roster behind Tim Tebow:

Denver should backstop Tebow with a second- or third-round prospect and either Brady Quinn or an option type of quarterback like Tebow, in the event of an in-game injury; that way the Broncos won't have to revolutionize their offense in the middle of a game.

John Elway did watch Arizona Wildcats quarterback Nick Foles during the college football season, and Foles is the type of quarterback who would be a second- or third-round pick. But we still have plenty of time to go. Tebow will work with Elway throughout this season, and working with a Hall of Fame quarterback, possibly the greatest quarterback of all-time, could make all the difference.
