Breaking news: Broncos trade quarterback of the future with the second-to-last pick in the first round

Sean Payton is poised to seek out a new quarterback who aligns better with his offensive vision in the coming months. The likelihood of Russell Wilson joining the Denver Broncos seems to be fading. In this scenario, Payton and his team are prepared to take inventive measures to secure their next cornerstone quarterback while also acquiring a top-tier skill-position player.

This week’s mock trade involves Justin Fields, presenting a fresh approach:

New England Patriots receive: Justin Fields, along with the 2024 fourth-round pick (No. 110)

Chicago Bears receive: The 2024 third-round pick (No. 68) and a 2025 third-round pick, which could escalate to a second-round pick if Fields participates in 75% of the snaps for New England in the 2024 season.

It’s worth noting that the draft order has been finalized, thanks to Tankathon for compiling it.
