Being that Paton and OC Pat Shurmur weren't in the Broncos organization when John Elway drafted Drew Lock and the Broncos tried to trade with the Lions for Matthew Stafford,  I don't think there's enough of a comfort level with Lock to satisfy Paton.

Drew Lock realistically could have a breakout year, if given the opportunity.  Whether he will be given the opportunity remains to be seen.

I've been trying to figure out what Denver will do at 9 now that they have Fuller.  They have the makings of a good secondary.

Trying to move up for a QB makes some sense.  Darnold will feel like he's in heaven after leaving the talent depleted Jets to end up in Denver with those weapons.

Tackle would seem to be the only position that makes sense for them at that spot. 

Maybe Parsons, if they can deal with his off the field issues.

If the Broncos have their QB situation settled before the draft: 

My guess at this time is the Broncos would draft Micah Parsons over any Offensive Tackle other than Penei Sewell ( who probably be taken earlier ). Though the RT position with the Broncos is a question mark with Elijah Wilkerson being a UFA and a player the Broncos would likely want to upgrade from as a starter, I would be somewhat surprised if they used pick # 9 to draft a RT.
