Are the Denver Broncos sold on Case Keenum almost halfway through his first season with the team?

Although Keenum has helped the Broncos get among the league’s best in terms of making big plays, he’s been far too inconsistent as a whole, and the Broncos could be going back to the drawing board this offseason at quarterback.

If they are in this type of position again on draft night (top 10), they might have a hard time passing on the overall skillset of a player like Drew Lock, even though his accuracy has been erratic at times.

Lock has a big arm and is athletic, and tore apart the SEC last year with 44 touchdowns. He’s found ways to overcome his accuracy issues and actually has shown great improvement in that regard this season.

With all of the big play threats developing in Denver and Patrick Mahomes emerging, the Broncos have to keep up, and Lock could be a star.
