RE: Two GMs say Paxton Lynch has highest ceiling of any QB in draft
I hope that Paxton goes to a situation that will be good for him in the long run.

DeAngelo was fortunate to be at the Panthers and to share running back duties while there. He avoided the wear-and-tear that he would have gotten as a "every down" running back for other teams. That is one reason that he played as the oldest RB in the NFL last season at the Steelers.

If Paxton can get drafted behind an established starter, then he can put money in the bank and stay healthy versus being drafted by a really bad team where he is thrown into the fire and beat up. Some of those bad teams don't have the offensive line to protect him and he could get chewed up.

I agree. That's the ideal scenario

I don't understand how the "experts" will knock Paxton for not playing anyone...so they can't decide how good he'll be, but they will praise that Caron Wentz.

when you try to fill 4 months with draft coverage and analysis, you will basically contradict yourself over and over.

Based on the offense Wentz ran in college.

Memphis offense was a high flying high scoring offense. The perception is that Paxton never played under center. That's BS. I bet he took at least 10 snaps per game under center. One is highlighted on the Gruden camp.

Well that changes things, Jon Gruden just told @jaycrawfordespn and @LisaKerneyESPN on @SportsCenter Connor Cook is the best QB in the draft

Changes what? Unless he's picking for his brother.

At 6-7, Paxton certainly NEEDS the highest ceiling of any QB in the draft...

What offense you run has no bearing on your level of competition, which is what his post was referring to.

You can ask questions about Paxton running a spread offense as opposed to a pro offense, but that has nothing to do with your level of competition.

agreed. But if you want an example of how useful the type of offense is in college just look at Cam Newton and Jimmy Clausen. One ran a spread offense, the other a pro style.

Yep.

Most of this talk is just typical NFL GM's gamesmenship and media hype.

Anyone who watched Paxton all year knows he is pretty effective behind center and we saw plenty of it this year.

Those who actually break down the tape see it too.

I watched a little bit of pro-day yesterday, and it appeared he was on the field with a bunch of midgets. The guy is huge.

I think Lynch will have a good career in the NFL. He looked good with a bunch of walk on wide receivers. I know defenses are better in the NFL but Lynch will have better wide receivers to throw to.

While I agree that is what was best for DeAngelo's pockets, but if he ever had aspirations of being known as being a regular pro bowler that was not the ideal situation.

Paxton's talent is incredible and he's smart on top of that. He's got a chance to be a star.

Intelligence is key. Ryan Leaf had the proverbial million dollar arm and the ten cent brain.

The Raiders were smart in picking Derek Carr over Johnny Barstool. Carr is a Christian, family man with responsibility. Johnny is a high school punk. It is a man's game that requires manliness on and off the field.
