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. |

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

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 |

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. |

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. |
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. |
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.

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. |
