Mavric

Sounds like what position he will play is still open but defense seems more likely at this point so I'll change his profile to say DB.

Word is he's visiting this weekend

247 But "facilities" is also a larger discussion:

Teammate of recent 2025 commit Tanner Terch and former teammate of current Husker Rex Guthrie.

I don't see anything mentioned

The consensus seemed to be that 12 was too high for Nix but I don't think they had much choice, especially after the Falcons drafted Penix (?????). It would have been nice to trade down 8-10 spots and still get Nix or Penix but the Raiders were heavily rumored to be looking to draft a QB as well and there was too much risk. Payton was going to get a QB. It seemed like he may have preferred McCarthy but liked Nix almost as well. There was talk of the Broncos trading up to take McCarthy but given all the picks they've given up over the last few years, not having to do that and still getting someone you want is probably about as good as they hoped for. I like that Nix started a ton of games in college. One-year wonders don't seem to work out very well. There seem to be a lot of questions about how his experience will translate to the NFL ("all he did was throw bubble screens"). Only 44 of his 398 attempts were more than 20 yards downfield. But he was still very efficient on those throws (52.3%, 12 TDs, 1 INT). And 37 TDs with 2 INTs is awfully good. The NFL is an accuracy game. You have to be able to stretch the field to loosen things up but being able to put most passes where they need to be is paramount. Nix seems to be good at that. I actually would have been good with any of Nix, Penix or McCarthy. And the Broncos had to do something to try to get the QB spot figured out. So it seems to have worked out about as well as it could have.

Pretty anecdotal but interesting...

Speculation seems to be they loaded up some extra picks and traded back one pick to buy themselves 20+ hours to try to trade for an established WR. If they get that done, it's a pretty good move.

Just adds more context to our opponents. Sucks to lose to them but they seem to be a pretty solid team.
