The Facts: Just about all the top free-agent quarterbacks have now signed elsewhere, leaving Broncos fans to wonder where its next passer is. Keep in mind, trades are allowed. Trades can even occur while free agents are signing. "We've evaluated all the quarterbacks. We like Drew Lock," GM George Paton said Thursday. "We have a plan in place and there's free agency, there's the draft, there's trades, there's a lot of ways to acquire a quarterback. Fortunately, we have a quarterback here and we have a nice quarterback room. We do want to bring in competition. We are not going to force it."

Diehards Line:As 9News.com's Mike Klis notes, Lock is a young quarterback with a strong arm, good mobility and 17 games of starting experience. But his body of work to date has been too inconsistent. Paton also acknowledged there's a chance the Broncos will use their No. 9 overall draft pick on a quarterback. He attended Trey Lance's Pro Day at North Dakota State last week. Up next on the Pro Day schedule are Alabama's Mac Jones on Tuesday, BYU's Zach Wilson on March 26 and Ohio State's Justin Fields on March 30. "It is in play for quarterback,'" Paton said of the No. 9 pick. "Yes, I'll be out a lot looking at all positions, but definitely quarterback."
