What It Means:

The Broncos shipped the Nos. 31 and 94 picks to Seattle for the right to move up five spots. Lynch's selection means neither Colin Kaepernick nor Ryan Fitzpatrick will be Denver bound. Lynch (6-foot-7/244 pounds) started three years at Memphis, finishing his career with a 63.0 completion percentage, 7.36 yards per attempt, 59 passing touchdowns, 23 picks and 17 rushing scores. Lynch has huge hands (10 1/4") and high-level quarterback athleticism, running 4.86 40-yard dash with a 36-inch vertical. Big, mobile and over a year younger than Carson Wentz, Lynch's drawbacks consist of up-and-down ball placement resulting from flaws as a pocket passer, according to scouting reports. Lynch has drawn some comparisons to Blake Bortles.

Denver showed in 2015 it can win without getting much production from under center. That will allow the Broncos to bring Lynch along slowly, if they so choose. Denver may opt to let Mark Sanchez run the show while Lynch refines his game. With that said, Denver is certainly in win-now mode, so if Lynch proves in training camp that he's their best option, the Broncos probably won't sit him for long. For fantasy purposes, Lynch is unlikely to have much of an impact in 2016 unless he's able to secure the starting job. If he does start, he'd be a streaming option in standard formats and a factor in two-quarterback leagues.
