The Denver Broncos have selected Paxton Lynch with the 26th pick of the 2016 NFL Draft. Broncos have been patient all offseason and move up to the 26th pick giving up their 31st overall in the first round and 94th overall in the third round. Quarterback of the future has been selected by the Denver Broncos and the Colin Kaepernick trade talks are officially over.
Lynch is a lesser version of Kaepernick with quick mobility and a very strong arm. The Broncos could sit him a year under Mark Sanchez, but Lynch’s ability to work well, he could pay huge dividends for the Broncos ten years from now.
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.
