The Rams should have plenty of company sitting out the first round of the NFL draft next week. The franchise hasn't made a selection in round one since taking Jared Goff in 2016 and doesn't currently have another first-round pick until 2024. (AP Photo/Zach Bolinger, File)

FILE - Miami Dolphins general manager Chris Grier talks on the phone during the NFL football team's practice Dec. 15, 2021, in Miami Gardens, Fla. Miami is not scheduled to pick until No. 102 after using picks to move up in the draft last year. “We’ve been building here for the last few years,” Grier said. “The chance to get aggressive and adding a talented top player at a position is something we just felt was too good to pass up.” (David Santiago/Miami Herald via AP, File)

Hackett said there's never “too high of a price on anybody that’s great" — especially when it comes to quarterbacks. Denver had been dealing with a revolving door of mediocrity at the most important position ever since Peyton Manning retired seven years ago but now has Wilson in place.
