Broncos have drafted 2 QBs in the common draft era that made the Pro Bowl in their careers – Jay Cutler (2006) and Brian Griese (1998).

Broncos lost a 6'8" QB in Osweiler, so they draft a 6'7" QB in Lynch.

We're thrilled that Paxton Lynch is going to be a Bronco. He fits what we do very well and plays the game with a lot of enthusiasm.

We'll see who actually starts, but with Kubiak as coach & those WR, Paxton Lynch lands in most fantasy friendly situation of 1st rd QB's
— Matthew Berry (@MatthewBerryTMR) April 29, 2016
Paxton Lynch might need work, but he's a fascinating project. Has the arm + mobility to grow in Kubiak's bootleg scheme.
— Marc Sessler (@MarcSessler) April 29, 2016
In terms of scheme, Paxton Lynch to Denver makes a lot of sense. In Kubiak's ideal world, his quarterback moves well, and Lynch does.

Paxton Lynch is Brock Osweiler the sequel: Long, lean and inexperienced

Paxton Lynch at the bowling alley with plenty of emotion to … spare.

So much for all those Paxton Lynch falling out of the first round shenanigans this morning. #Smoke

Another great part of #Broncos taking Paxton Lynch… They can develop him for one year and have him for 5 years total.
