Last month, Touchdown Wire’s Doug Farrar released his list of the top scheme fits for players picked in the 2024 NFL draft.
Oregon quarterback Bo Nix and wide receiver Troy Franklin were among seven players who made Farrar’s list. Nix (first round) and Franklin (fourth round) were picked by the Denver Broncos in April.
Farrar believes the QB and WR will be a perfect fit for coach Sean Payton’s offense.
“Sean Payton has some very specific things he wants in a quarterback,” Farrar wrote on Touchdown Wire. “He wants a mobile guy who runs to throw, as opposed to just creating chaos.
“He wants a quarterback who can throw to all levels of the field intelligently. And he wants someone smart enough to adhere himself to Payton’s passing concepts. … In the 2024 draft, Payton made it abundantly clear which guy he thought best fit that paradigm when Denver selected Oregon’s Bo Nix with the 12th overall pick in the first round. That was seen by some analysts as an overdraft, but those analysts aren’t in Payton’s head, and again, Payton needs a quarterback who will do very specific things.”
