Fantasy Football 2016 Rookie Mock Draft: Round 2

2.06: Paxton Lynch, QB, Denver Broncos

Drafter Comments

"Lynch has elite arm talent, elite size and athleticism at the quarterback position, and I would argue an ideal landing spot in Denver. Lynch takes over an offense with weapons all over the field that Peyton Manning ran like a machine in three of the past four seasons. I believe that Lynch will develop quickly in Gary Kubiak's system and start at some point in Year 1. His long-term upside as a fantasy quarterback is sky high when you consider his athletic ability and potential to add yardage with his feet. With the options on the board in the second round, I wanted to add Lynch because I knew I couldn't get him at my turn in the third round." -- Tony DelSignore

Other Comments

"Surprised to see that Lynch was the first quarterback off the board and the only one drafted in the second round. I like Denver's situation for a rookie quarterback, but I probably wouldn't draft any until the third round." -- Tyler Buecher

"I love it. Armed with Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders, the landing spot is perfect for any young quarterback. If Gary Kubiak can take anything from mentor Mike Shanahan and how he used Robert Griffin III, this system could allow Lynch to really thrive due to his mobility." -- Anthony Amico
