Adam Schefter dropped an interesting nugget this morning on the day of the draft about Paxton Lynch. However, Lynch’s news by Schefter is nothing new if those were listening to The Drive with Big Al and DMac (Darren McKee). Schefter said he does not expect the Buffalo Bills or New York Jets to draft Paxton Lynch and added it is possible Lynch may not be taken in the first round.

This is a draft bombshell that could be good news for the Broncos. It would still be hard for Paxton Lynch not to fall to the mid-20s, but three teams Broncos will need to watch tonight in the NFL Draft, New Orleans Saints, Buffalo Bills and New York Jets.

Ultimately, trading up for Lynch is still an option and everything will play out tonight at 6 PM on ESPN or NFL Network. Keep up to date on all the Broncos draft rumors and news here on Predominantly Orange.
