During a first round that saw Michael Penix Jr. go to the Atlanta Falcons at No. 8 overall, somehow the Denver Broncos have the most embarrassing selection of the 2024 NFL Draft thus far.

Sean Payton elected to take Oregon QB Bo Nix at No. 12, ensuring that Kansas City will remain atop the AFC West for the next decade. Make no mistake, the Chiefs' rivals have absolutely no idea what they're doing.

How else do you explain this buffoonery?

Denver Broncos Draft Bo Nix, Guaranteeing Chiefs Win AFC West Again

Nix was considered a second-round prospect at best, so for Denver to take him as the sixth QB in the first dozen picks is as funny as it is confusing. Nix is 24 years old, one of the oldest QBs ever taken in the first round, and his profile isn't one that lends itself to immediate competitiveness.

Would you like to laugh even more? Take a look at this nonsense:

I mean, you couldn't write a comedy this funny. The Chiefs should waltz to the playoffs without much competition barring injury. After five QBs went in the first 11 picks, the Broncos had an opportunity to add the first defensive player in the draft or take an impact playmaker.

Instead? They took a mediocre QB. Congratulations, Broncos fans!

Chiefs Kingdom can rejoice. No matter who Brett Veach chooses to draft, Kansas City has already won the first round. Years after Denver bungled their QB selection by taking Paxton Lynch, it seems the Broncos have made a mistake perhaps even more severe.
