Apparently neither are other teams, since no one else had a first round grade on him.

False:

The Broncos had worked Nix out March 18 on campus in Eugene, Ore., so Lanning knew there was a good chance he could end up in Denver. But he wasn’t sure as the first round unfolded.

“I certainly felt good, but I also felt good about some other teams that wanted Bo,’’ said Lanning, who didn’t name any other teams. “I thought he would go day one. I just wasn’t sure where. But I thought the Broncos had a really great shot at making it happen.’’

For all who think the Broncos could have traded down and still gotten Bo Nix … @chad_reuter of @NFLMedia says, “No,” that wouldn’t have worked.

Why? Because the Rams wanted Nix.

"The Rams were taking Nix at 19. Absolutely, if he was available,” Reuter told @CecilLammey & me. pic.twitter.com/SHxQxEdZSw
