paxton lynch to the.....

[megalodon30]

The value chart is going to kill some interest but I would not be surprised if DEN moved up

Read on Walterfootball that teams in the 20s have already received calls from the Broncos.

Lynch could go anywhere from 8 to 15. I don't see him getting to the Jets at 20.

The physically most gifted QB may go 3rd in his own position group, while one of less physically gifted likely goes first. Go figure. Shows how much it's a mental game.

It doesn't matter how great a QB's arm is. What matters is how accurate they are passing the football.

I can believe it...for some reason IDT he will make it into the 20s, but PIT is a candidate to move back.

Exactly what I implied by Goff going 1st overall over Lynch who may or may not even make the 1st round.

I think he'll go somewhere between 8 & 15.

Jets at 20 the earliest

Broncos with the last pick at the latest

Take it to the bank

Kellen Moore 69.8% completion percentage at Boise St.
Paxton Lynch 62.9% at Memphis.

Whelp, I guess Lynch is gonna be worse than Moore.

Talent isn't the same really, but... yeah.

Completion percentage & accuracy aren't the same thing. I'm talking about the ability to put the football where the QB wants it. Montana was the best at it. Aikman & Unitas were great at it as well. You don't have to have a great arm to be a great QB.

No, but % is a pretty good measure for accuracy. How else do you know a guy can put the ball where he wants if not by looking at his completion %? Sure, there are dink and dunk guys that have artificially inflated percentages, but those guys either end up backups/game managers or out of the league pretty quickly.

I knew Troy Aikman was going to be a great QB during his first preseason. It was just a question of how long would it take for the Cowboys to surround him with talent. The reason I knew was because of his ability to put the ball where the receiver could catch it & run. The great QB's are able to put the ball where the receover can run after he catches the ball on a regular basis. In many cases receivers make the QB look good.

Peyton Manning 62.5% at Tennessee

Tim Tebow 66.4% at Florida.

And we all know that Tebow is a more accurate passer than Manning.

My point exactly.

Side note: Manning never beat Florida and Tebow never lost to Tennessee. Gator chomp!

If he gets past the Jets at 20 I would be shocked if Denver didn't move into the middle 20's to get the kid.

 

[cdumler7]

A few stats for Paxton Lynch and why I think the Broncos could be pretty aggressive in going and getting him

Completion percentage while under pressure: 70% compared to Carson Wentz 55%. Lynch had the highest completion percentage in college football while under pressure this past year.

He also was the best QB on designed roll outs for completion percentage. A big time staple of the Broncos offense.

Finally of the QB's expected to go in the top-3 rounds of the draft he had the 2nd best deep ball accuracy only behind Connor Cook. All things the Broncos look for.

Doesn't make sense for the Browns to take Lynch there at 8. They could have taken a better QB at 2 but opted out of it.

It would be nonsensical to then use your early first rounder on an even lesser QB at 8 when there are solid skill position players needed and available.

I'm going to disagree with this because arguably the main reason Lynch is a lesser prospect is because he is less ready. A team like the Rams 100% needed a day 1 QB. Wentz will probably start in the first half of his first year and possibly day 1. Browns can flirt with the notion that RG3, a QB with higher upside than any QB in this draft, can theoretically be a QB. Meanwhile, they can teach Lynch the game and have him sit for a year or however long it takes RG3 to get injured.

That said, Ezekial Elliott at worst is Mark Ingram and at best could be a top 3 RB in the league moving forward. He is probably also going to be popular locally. I think the Browns pretty much have to pick Lynch or Elliott unless someone like Tunsil falls and they can do a big trade down again.

And traditionally Andy Reid. A few mocks have the Chiefs taking Lynch in rd1 and Id be kinda shocked if they didn't given that the Chiefs drafting weights positional value very highly in rd1.

That is why I think the Broncos will have to jump up ahead of Arizona and KC if they want this kid. If he gets past the Jets the Broncos will be calling every team in the mid-20's to jump up to get this kid. I would be shocked if he gets past the Jets and he doesn't become a Bronco.
