The Denver Broncos have moved on from Russell Wilson while absorbing the cap hit and are in the market for a new quarterback, as they have been since the 2016 season. They only have one on the roster at the moment, Jarrett Stidham.
With the 12th pick in the upcoming draft, the Broncos will have their pick of the liter from the tier two quarterbacks, such as Bo Nix, Michael Penix, and maybe even J.J. McCarthy. They need a guy who can help turn the franchise around and be the face of something the Broncos fan base can look forward to.
On Monday, it was reported that the Denver Broncos might soon have a top 30 visit with Michael Penix, the Washington quarterback who was a Heisman finalist a year ago.
Things are heating up for Washington QB Michael Penix Jr: Sources say he had dinner with the #Giants in Seattle after his Pro Day, followed by a private workout with the #Vikings in Seattle.

Penix is A to Z Sports' 36th-overall prospect and the sixth-best prospect at the quarterback position on our big board. Here are some of his strengths and weaknesses:

WEAKNESSES
Penix may not be like Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, or even Drake May, but he does have the potential to be a great player. The Broncos need to take a shot on whoever they can at pick No. 12. If the top three guys aren't available, Penix may be the guy we see in the new Broncos uniforms.
