- The #Broncos QB draft board rated the top 3 QBs as:
1- Carson Wentz
2A- Paxton Lynch
2B- Jared Goff
So in their evaluation they rated Goff and Lynch as equal values. Goff was drafted number 1 overall!
- #Elway ended up swapping Osweiler with Lynch and in the process saved $60 million in Cap Space which will help pay Von Miller that big contract he deserves. Not to mention the only thing Elway gave up to move up is a 3rd round pick which ironically he will get back as compensation for losing Osweiler in the 2017 draft. Can you say G.O.A.T.!
- At the time the #Broncos moved up with a trade to #26 with the SeaHawks to draft Lynch, both the Chiefs and the Cowboys were trying hard to move up ahead of Denver to snatch Lynch from the #Broncos. As he often does, #Elway won.
- By drafting a QB in the 1st round, the #Broncos now can take advantage of the all important 5th year option on 1st rd. selected rookies on Lynch which means they can have Paxton Lynch under contract for the next 5 years at a very low cap hit, for a QB, before he would be due a big contract. That will enable the team to stay strong at various positions for the next 5 years.
- Paxton Lynch was the QB at Memphis for 3 years and started all 38 games in that span. He finished with a 22-16 record as a starter, including a 2-1 mark in bowl games. In 2014, Memphis finished 10-3, beating BYU 55-48 in the Miami Beach Bowl to post the School's first 10-win season since the 1930s.
- Just for the heck of it here is how you spell Paxton as compared to Peyton... See the similarities?! Weird ha? lol
- At 6' 7" and 244 lbs. Paxton is a big QB much like Osweiler was before him. But unlike Osweiler, Paxton is actually an athletic physical specimen. It's hard to imagine that with his size he was actually the RB at his high school! This kid has way more mobility than Osweiler did, is an actual legit scrambling threat, and has a stronger arm than him as well.
- The 49ers blew it by not taking the Broncos deal on Kaepernick. As a matter of fact John Elway was totally surprised by it. This wa a type of decision that now the bumbling head coach, Chip Kelly, is becoming unfortunately known for in his short and ridiculous tenure in the NFL. That dumb decision has however led the #Broncos to Lynch and in the long term perspective should prove to be the best move for the #Broncos.
