Per Schefter:
Denver held a private workout with Bo Nix the day after his pro day. The night before the workout, the Broncos sent Nix three packets of offensive play installation. And the next morning, as they worked in the classroom with Nix, he “crushed it”, per a Broncos source.
The Broncos then took Nix from the classroom to the field, watched him throw for an hour, and were convinced they had a quarterback they wanted.

Very few QB prospects, similar to other positions, are locks to succeed everywhere. Oftentimes, it’s about the players skill set, natural strengths, and ability to execute within a system.
I did not love Bo Nix as a prospect, but he fits the archetype of what Sean Payton likes to do. He’ll be successful there, provided they can surround him with talent. He’s not a talent elevator, like CJ Stroud, but, based upon how he ran Oregon’s offense, and conceptually, the Ducks do a lot of what Brees did with NO, so the infrastructure is in place for him to do well.

Payton has never once made a player/skillset comparison between Nix and Mahomes.
What he has done several times, however, is reference the Mahomes draft pick as a lesson learned about waiting on a player you like (or trading down in hopes of scooping him up later) because of the risk of another team jumping ahead of you and sniping him. Which happened to him in NO with Andy Reid jumping ahead of the Saints to snipe Mahomes.
