‘With three quarterbacks being selected in the first three picks, there is risk in the Bills waiting to move up to pick six. The Browns obviously wouldn’t be a threat to take a quarterback at pick 4 after selecting Darnold first overall, but the Denver Broncos could be in play for Mayfield’s services at pick five. Quarterback Case Keenum signed a contract that pays him $18 million on average in Denver, but that deal only lasts two seasons. In Schrager’s mock draft, Denver couldn’t pass up the opportunity to select Bradley Chubb. There are many people who feel Chubb is the best overall prospect in the draft so it’s plausible that the Broncos pass on a quarterback with the defensive end on the board.’
