Ahead of the 2024 NFL draft, the Denver Broncos find themselves in a strategically challenging position. The Broncos are eyeing A-tier talents and are rallying for the game potential of LSU’s Jayden Daniels, North Carolina’s Drake Maye, and USC’s Caleb Williams. Among the three, Williams has reportedly emerged as a standout prospect, making his way for the year’s coveted spot in the top-heavy quarterback class.
He embodies a reputation for dynamic plays and impressive decision-making. The recent whispers are directed toward a potential blockbuster move orchestrated by head coach, Sean Payton, about the landing prospect of Williams. The Broncos, now left without Russell Wilson, are reportedly eyeing a move to secure a top-tier quarterback. To materialize their plan, the Broncos are considering a trade-up scenario. However, the potential acquisition of $2,700,000 NIL-valued Williams comes with a notable cost.

If this acquisition transpires into reality, the Broncos might have to part ways with Patrick Surtain II, the standout cornerback. As the football program stands in a precarious position, Caleb Williams’s landing spots remain plenty.
If not Denver Broncos, where could Caleb Williams go?
The USC quarterback officially declared for the NFL draft on the final day of eligibility. After claiming the Heisman Trophy in 2022, Williams continued to be the cynosure even though USC shifted from playoff contention to a modest standing in the Pac-12. The quarterback stood out in the latest campaign by throwing an impressive 3,633 yards. On top of this, he extended his brilliance by completing 68.6 percent of his passes in 12 games in 2023.

Hence, quite a few football programs are eyeing Calebs Williams as their top pick. Despite their commitment to Justin Fields as per the last draft, prospects lie for the Chicago Bears to secure Williams. On the other hand, the Arizona Cardinals have already acquired an additional first-round pick. Kyler Murray’s injury may open the door for Williams’ entry as a potential successor.
Attention to the prospects of playing alongside offensive talents like Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison could make the Minnesota Vikings an appealing destination for the quarterback. Surprisingly, Derek Carr has left the Las Vegas Raiders and hence they might turn to Williams to rejuvenate their quarterback position.
