Kiz: Is Missouri senior Drew Lock a safe bet to be the next quarterback of the Broncos? The worst-kept secret at the Senior Bowl: John Elway is smitten with Lock. I’m not sold on him, but my vote doesn’t count when Denver is on the clock during the NFL Draft. Do you believe Lock is the QB being targeted by the Broncos? And should they trade up from the 10th pick in the first round to acquire him?

O’Halloran: A connecting of the dots would suggest Elway and Co. are trying to fall in love with Lock. Elway was at the Arkansas-Missouri game in November. Elway was at the Senior Bowl practices for three days and barely left the quarterback group. I believe the Broncos are targeting multiple quarterbacks (as they should) and Lock is probably one of them (as he should be). But the uneducated eye test tells me Lock is not worth trading up the board to select because of what it will cost the Broncos (their second-round pick and 2020 first rounder for starters).

Kiz: There are two things that bug me about Lock. No. 1: He threw more than 1,500 passes in college and completed only 56.9 percent of them. I would rather my quarterback be accurate than big and strong. No. 2: As a senior, in consecutive losses to Alabama, South Carolina, and Georgia, Lock threw one touchdown pass and five interceptions. But you saw him in person at the Senior Bowl, and I trust boots on the ground. Tell me what I’m missing.

O’Halloran: I really believe the media is in Lock’s corner because he’s a good quote. Now, about Mobile. I watched him during Tuesday’s practice and his throws wobbled a bit and were off target, but I don’t expect much during those workouts. Quarterbacks getting a new playbook crammed into their brains and working with new receivers equal choppy play. No conclusions should be drawn (although many were) about his poor practice. I grant you the two things that bug you about Lock, but will counter that he improved his completion percentage from 57.8 to 62.9 and cut down his interceptions (13 to eight) as a senior. To me, that is a positive, that he took to the coaching and improved.

Kiz: The Giants and Jaguars, two QB-needy teams, own the sixth and seventh picks in the opening round. So what are the chances Denver can get Lock without moving into the top five? Could Jacksonville make a play for Eagles vet Nick Foles, allowing Lock to slide into Elway’s grasp at No. 10? To be honest, there are a half dozen players I like better than Lock that could well be available with the 10th pick, from LSU linebacker Devin White to Alabama running back Josh Jacobs.

O’Halloran: You hit on the major problem with the Broncos getting their top quarterback choice in the draft. Other teams need them, too. The Giants should be thinking about life post-Eli Manning. The Jaguars, if they miss out on Foles, need to take a passer. And keep an eye on Miami at No. 11. If the Dolphins give up on Ryan Tannehill, they may swing for the fences and leapfrog everybody to get into the top 3. If Elway asks me, Plan A should be sitting tight at No. 10 and taking a cornerback (LSU’s Greedy Williams/Georgia’s Deandre Baker) and then keeping my options open for trading back into the latter part of the first round for West Virginia quarterback Will Grier.
