Zach Wilson as Broncos' QB1 would land Colorado football star Shedeur Sanders in Denver

The Broncos' addition of Zach Wilson has drawn future rumors of potential 2025 NFL Draft pick Shedeur Sanders to end up in Denver, too.

The offseason rolls on for the Colorado football program and the Denver Broncos, as both teams are doing everything they can to improve upon last season. Although Broncos newcomer Zach Wilson has drawn some attention, it has been in a manner that he would highly dislike.

Coach Prime's son, Shedeur Sanders, is expected to enter the NFL Draft next year and has gathered many NFL teams' eyes. But Mark Kislza of the Denver Gazette states that the Broncos could select Sanders with the first overall pick if Wilson becomes QB1 this coming fall.

“If the Broncos decided to start the thoroughly wretched Wilson for 17 games, they’d be so bad that finishing with a 3-14 record would be a real possibility," Kislza prefaced before saying, "And then the Broncos could select Shedeur Sanders out of Colorado with the first overall pick in next year’s draft to become their franchise quarterback before Bo Nix ever takes a snap as a pro.”

A scorching take that may have fans and the rest of the media buzzing all over it, however, do not forget that one person's does not determine the fate of the universe. The results happen on the field, and who knows — Wilson will prove him wrong.

What should be expected out of Shedeur Sanders and Zach Wilson, respectively?

One commonality that Sanders and Wilson have is coming off losing seasons; Shedeur in Boulder and Wilson as the emergency replacement for Aaron Rodgers. Both of these guys are in good positions to put their win-loss records above .500, but Wilson isn't guaranteed to be the driving force behind the Broncos' resurgence in the Mile High City.

Bo Nix and Jarrett Stidham are both ahead of him right now on the depth chart. Things change quickly in football, though.

At the end of the day, Kislza's words are subjective and so are the other NFL insiders and analysts. Let the play of the players speak for themselves because that's the only appropriate thing to do in the world of sports.
