This weekend, Bo Nix will become the first rookie quarterback to start in Week 1 for the Denver Broncos since John Elway in 1983. Nix will also become Denver's 14th starting quarterback in the post-Peyton Manning era.

How have other Broncos quarterbacks drafted by the team fared during their careers with Denver? We take a look back at QBs picked by the club in the first three rounds of the NFL draft.

1. 2024 (1st round): Bo Nix

2. 2019 (2nd round): Drew Lock

Drafted in 2nd round of 2019 NFL draft (42nd overall pick).

Was traded to the Seattle Seahawks as part of the Russell Wilson deal before 2022 season.

3. 2016 (1st round): Paxton Lynch

Was released by Broncos before 2018 season. Played in three other professional football leagues (CFL, USFL, XFL), where he also failed to live up to his high expectations.

4. 2012 (2nd round): Brock Osweiler

Selected by Broncos in 2nd round of 2012 NFL draft (57th overall)

Once thought to be the heir-apparent to Hall of Famer Peyton Manning. Started seven games during 2015 Super Bowl season (5-2 in 2015).

After an impressive 2015 campaign, Osweiler signed a four-year $72 million contract with the Houston Texans, where he was the worst non-rookie quarterback in 2016. Houston dumped his contract to the Cleveland Browns after only one year. Osweiler lost another three-way battle for the starting job between Trevor Siemian and Paxton Lynch in 2017.

5. 2010 (1st round): Tim Tebow

Selected in the 1st round of the 2010 NFL draft (25th overall).

7. 1998 (3rd round): Brian Griese
