QB Lynch wraps pro day schedule … It was an interesting way to wrap up this year’s pro day schedule as Memphis QB Paxton Lynch worked out in near gale conditions yesterday. And given the conditions, Lynch had a pretty good day. Certainly, scouts leaving Memphis had few questions about Lynch’s arm strength which may be as good as that of any QB in this year’s draft. Lynch also showed surprisingly light feet for a guy 6-7 as he moved around the pocket with ease and looked comfortable throwing on the move. Lynch also cane across as an engaging young guy who is cool in the pocket and the huddle. On the other hand, Lynch clearly is not as polished as Carson Wentz of North Dakota State or Cal’s Jared Goff, the two top-rated QBs in this year’s draft. Lynch wasn’t consistently accurate, even on some pretty simple dump off throws as he appeared to aim the ball at times rather than just letting it go; he was also late with some throws that his receivers had to adjust to catch. Lynch’s delivery also appeared to be a little slow at times. But the tools appear to be there; now it’s up to QB-needy NFL teams to figure out just how high he should go.
