Pipe dream is being nice.

Meh...Geno Smith fell out of the 1st Rnd....

That would've been a pipe dream too if someone would have proposed that scenario before the draft.

Lynch can drop to us.

But a very exciting one

After 6 games last year winning a playoff game was a pipe dream too...

Smith fell because, from all reports, he was terrible in team interviews and such during the evaluation process.

Guy has never played under center and is going to require a re-work of what he knows about the position.

Teams drafting for QB need could look at guys like Hackenberg and Cook, both of whom have worked in pro style sets, before they look at Lynch.

While it's a little far fetched, it's not out of the realm of possibility that Paxton drops to the bottom of the first round. Remember the Aaron Rogers fall.

And his medical exam at the combine is dropping his stock.

The combine did not help Lynch...rather confirmed his measurables

I guess he had a bone chip floating around from the broken clavical he suffered his sophomore year. Wasn't an issue for him physically and it's completely healed, but teams brought it up.

There's a chance Tomahawk. There's a chance.

Mixed Feedback

Teams say Memphis quarterback Paxton Lynch is very far behind from an x's-and-o's perspective. Teams like his skill set and athletic upside, and they don't think he's a bad kid. But he hasn't been taught much from a NFL scheme perspective coming from his college spread system. Sources felt that Lynch was behind the other early-round quarterbacks from an x's-and-o's standpoint.

You can teach x's and o's and let him sit a year. You can't teach his skill set. Lack of exposure doesn't mean he can't learn. Teams aren't going to pass on the kid because he needs to learn an NFL playbook.

Through the ****ing roof!

However, teams looking for a guy who can come in as a rookie and provide immediate improvement aren't probably looking at Lynch as much as they would, say, Cook or Hackenberg in the top of the second, Hogan in the mids, etc.

He's going to require a lot of reps with the second team, film study, etc.

That's something the Chiefs have the luxury of, but with teams like Cleveland, etc., they need a guy who can step in and contribute as a rookie.

It's one of the reasons why Wentz has catapulted up the boards - because NDSU runs a pro style set. Yes, it's an FCS school, but he knows what pro teams want.

There is a serious chance that Lynch is there with the Chiefs pick.

kccrow 03-07-2016 09:28 PM

I'd think the Eagles and Jets will be very serious players for Lynch.

The Eagles only signed Bradford for two years and they just traded away DeMarco Murray to the Titans and Byron Maxwell and Kiko Alonso to the Dolphins. It's a fire sale over there and one has to think that roster is going to get turned over heavily. I'd be willing to bet they look for a long-term answer at QB with Bradford being a temporary placeholder.

As for the Jets, there is little confidence in Geno Smith anymore and Ryan Fitzpatrick, should he be retained, isn't the long-term answer there. If I'm a betting man, I'd look for Fitzpatrick to be brought back on a short-term deal as the starter until they can groom a proper replacement.

kccrow 03-07-2016 09:29 PM

I'd also add the Rams, with Nick Foles' void year coming up in 2017. They could be on the hunt for a long-term replacement.

Saccopoo 03-07-2016 09:56 PM

The likelihood that he's gone is significant. However, there is a chance that he's there.

However, it's not a left tackle rich draft and guys like Spriggs will move up and same with the pass rushers. As you stated, Ogbah's Combine performance has most likely moved him up into the early 20's.

And for a team who needs a QB to come in and contribute early, Cook is a better choice. He's douchey, but he's also won a ton out of a pro style system.

And Derrick Henry will be enticing to teams, especially after the Combine.

Rams released Lauranitis with absolutely nothing else at ILB on the roster.

It's a possibility.
