Round 1, Pick No. 26: Paxton Lynch, QB, Memphis | Highlights
My take: At 6-foot-6, 244 pounds, Lynch is exactly the type of big-framed quarterback Elway likes. It was one of the reasons the team selected 6-foot-7 Brock Osweiler in the second round of the 2012 draft.
Lynch is likely not ready to play as a rookie. But, the Broncos don’t need him to play and can give Lynch the expected time needed to acclimate himself into the league. Lynch didn’t play under center all that much in his career with Memphis and worked in a no-huddle attack that didn’t ask him to throw the ball down the field very often.
He’ll need to adjust to the Broncos’ scheme, but he has the mobility to eventually run the team’s play-action attack. The Broncos also believe Lynch has the kind of arm strength to power the ball down the field and he simply wasn't afforded the opportunity to do it all that much. Lynch's pro day workout was proof.
One for the future: One of the concerns scouts had with Lynch in pre-draft meetings was his demeanor. They aren't sure he has the assertiveness to be the potential face of the franchise. But the Broncos believe Lynch will have the time he needs to grow into the job. The Broncos like what Mark Sanchez can do in the offense and have said throughout the offseason they are prepared for him to be the starter. Much like Osweiler, who waited over three seasons to make his first regular-season start, the Broncos can groom Lynch in what coach Gary Kubiak has called "the right way."
More....Round 2, Pick No. 63:Adam Gotsis, DT, Georgia Tech | Highlights
My take: The 6-foot-4½-inch, 287-pound player moves like a much smaller man. He has played nose tackle at times in the Georgia Tech defense and will be a project for the Broncos. He’s worth a draft pick, but the Broncos rated him more highly than many of their peers. The Broncos will need a raw player to continue his lightning-quick development to play up to the value of the pick. The game video shows he’s a high-effort player, with some quickness off the ball and strength at the point of attack. Gotsis doesn’t always show a quick diagnosis of the play in front of him and projects to largely be a run-down specialist early in his career as he continues to learn the game. He is still recovering from an October knee injury.
Still on the mend: Gotsis suffered a torn ACL in his knee on the first play from scrimmage in Georgia Tech’s Oct. 31 loss to Virginia. Gotsis said Friday night he had progressed to do some running and agility drills in his recovery so he hopes to be full speed by the time the Broncos begin their regular season. Before the knee injury, some teams said they believed Gotsis could have third-round draft potential.
Still learning: Even after four seasons with Georgia Tech, including three as a starter, Gotsis has still played more Australian Rules Football -- eight years -- than he has football in the United States. But the Broncos are more than willing to put their trust in defensive line coach Bill Kollar to develop him. And Gotsis is potentially a high-reward prospect given the potential he has shown in one of the nation’s major football conferences. He finished his career with 12.5 sacks and 27.5 tackles for loss.
