In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil take a deep dive into the Broncos. Will we see a Broncos offense with more pre-snap movement in 2026? We react to ESPN's Bill Barnwell's article in which he grades the trade value of every NFL team's top stars. Are Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen worth 7 first-round picks? We re-evaluate the Broncos' Russell Wilson trade and everything they gave up to bring him here. Should Bo Nix be worth more than one first-round pick? Is Drake Maye being way overrated, being evaluated at 6 first-round picks? Today's "Three Count" includes our reaction to the textline on Drake Maye being evaluated at 6 times more first-round picks than Bo Nix, and the Broncos having 5 players end up on top 10 positions lists in the NFL. We break down Colorado accidentally spending over a million dollars in 2024 by giving Deion Sanders and his coaching staff bonuses for making a "New Year's 6 Bowl", even though they didn't make one, as well as paying for hundreds of band members to attend the game in San Antonio.
