I don't think the Broncos will get into a bidding war for Cousins. I'm guessing that yes, the Broncos will try to address the QB position before the draft, allowing them to then draft BPA at 5 or trade down. I'm guessing that Barkley will definitely be gone by 5. However, a player like Chubb or Fitzpatrick will probably be there. If the Broncos take either one of these players, that will really help the defense. Rumor has it that the Broncos would not be apposed to drafting Nelson at five too, as that will immediately help the interior offensive line and consequently, the run game.
All of this is predicated on the Broncos taking care of the QB position before the draft. One more thing: the Broncos still have two young QBs on their roster, Lynch and Kelly. Say what you want about Lynch, but he's still a project, and Kelly is a complete unknown at this time. My suspicion is that the Broncos just assume keeping Lynch and Kelly and not spending a high draft pick on a rookie QB, at least, not in the first round.
