So it's not on here but Chiefs had Paxton Lynch in for an interview
 

I like his talent but don't know much bout him I'm curious anyone seen him play?

It was buried in one of the threads earlier this week.

And for the record, anyone throwing their support to drafting him with our first pick shall now be known as the Lynch Mob.

It was all covered in the Paxton Lynch thread.

Oh sorry I didn't see the mega thread I haven't been able to be on last four days been working NCCA tournament

Mega threads suck anyways.

I haven't heard about this! This is newso bueno, Muchacho.

Don't think there would be many complaints with drafting a QBOTF.

Would be nice to sit him for 2-3 years and plug him in at age 25, ready to roll.

Smith is gona be 32 this year. It's time. We need another corner and pass rusher also.

Well, even at 32, Smith, barring major injury, probably has 4-5 years left of solid football. So, I don't think you're completely backed into a corner as far as drafting a QB this year.

But it would be a solid idea, cause there is no guarantees in this league obviously and it's the most important position in sports. If they think they can make Lynch into a franchise guy in the system, they need to take him. But yeah, CB, WR, G (mid-late rounds), pass rush all stand out too so it depends on how that board falls.

The big ****ing Q

Seeing this makes you think twice though.... just not sure what to think about Lynch. So so raw.

With KC interviewing Lynch, I believe NFL teams don't have him as highly regarded as other talking heads/draftniks.

The media may be surprised, but NFL FO's must have a slightly different opinion of him to where he falls in the draft.

In the tape that can be seen, he looks like quite the project. He's super raw. Played in an offense where his throws often times look pre-determined.

I'm really iffy at this point when it comes to the first round.

There must be some level of interest to interview him, but my hunch is that they're basically just doing due diligence... I would be shocked to see them draft a QB high

Pretty much my opinion too.

They have a team that is ready to win right now, so they have to prioritize filling what holes are there for 2016 (CB, WR, etc)

Exactly, this team needs a few immediate contributors with its top picks, they've been grooming Murray and Bray for years now and will likely stand pat at QB

But, if they're just totally in love with Lynch or someone else, then go for it... I certainly wouldnt complain, it would be very hard for Dorsey to piss me off at this point

Trust that man, I do

QB position can **** off until next year

I've argued this for years now.
If you think that a QB has franchise level talent, and the mental capacity to learn, you take him, even if he is raw.


The best organizations, the ones that don't fall to the bottom, that always finds ways to be competitive, are the ones that place a lower priority on need, and a higher priority on simply finding talent.

Yeah but I think there's a strong, strong chance that when we pick at 28, the BPA's are going to fit our needs. At least when you look at mock drafts it appears that way.

If they have a OT or RB graded at 92 and they have a corner at 91 or 90, even a little lower, I think you take the corner.

Huge fail of a draft if this team takes him in the 1st. 2nd-3rd round sure, but not first.

Typical Alex Smith fan.

Good.

This is good news. I wouldn't mind them taking a QB in the 1st round.

I'm not sold on Alex Smith being the guy anyway, you and I know he will not
take us to the promise land. May as well take the risk on a late 1st round QB that has a higher ceiling with more potential. There are no guarantees that this QB will be good, but it's one of those things that if it works, your chances of getting to the SuperBowl are better and if it doesn't work, then you still have Alex Smith. So we don't get worse but there is that remote possibility we could get better. Yeah **** it. Do it. Nothing to lose. Why not?

Wrong.

Even the DC Comic hero we are mocked to draft is slated to take over for Alex:

Can't wait for ' Grudens QB camp' episode

Maybe this is the year they draft a qb.




ROFL

Dorsey drafts best athlete available, regardless of position. If that guy happens to be a QB, then you take him. I'm not comparing Smith to Favre, but Dorsey did take Rogers late in the first when they had a future HOF QB as a starter with multiple years left on his contract. This isn't Carl Peterson's Chiefs anymore. We actually have a competent GM running the show now.

Didn't know Dorsey was the GM of the Packers making the draft calls.

As their head scout I guarantee his presence was in the draft room. Now, given he's FROM Green Bay, I'm sure their philosophies play a role in how Dorsey drafts here. Is there a particular reason why I needed to explain my previous post? Or are you just one of the "sky is falling" idiots who base the current staffs decisions upon the village idiots that used to run this team? This is NOT Carl Peterson or Scott Pioli's Chiefs. If people can't see what Dorsey has done to turn this franchise around, then you're an idiot.

He looks like an under developed, poor man's Alex Smith. A limited system QB, that only works in Andy Reid's system. Why would you let a 58 year old coach that won't be here for most of this QB's career draft someone that could only work in his system?

Woopsie!

Watch him again.

In the video, 85% of passes were less than 10 yards. Anything further downfield was a wobbling heave without accuracy.

I have seen him play live, went to a game. Watching him live wasnt impressive but I went back and rewatched the game he looked really good. Most of his passes were checkdowns though.

I think it would be a great pick, draft him and let him sit behind Alex for 2-3 seasons. Alex was willing in the past to groom a QB.

Its never the right year for a QB, such a refreshingly new idea.

I think a lot of that had to do with the gameplan of having to get the ball out of his hands quickly against their pass rush.

Given that Lynch is a backup quality QB and maybe eventually a fringe starter at best? Yeah, I would pass on taking him or any QB outside of Wentz and Goff any higher than the mid rounds.

Just because you want a QB doesn't mean you have to reach every year for one. That just dooms your franchise to be ****ed every year. If it were up to CP, this franchise would be lucky to ever have a winning season again. Clausen, Sanchez, Geno Smith, need I go on?

This....

at this point id rather the Chiefs just stick with Murray and Bray since they have both been in the system for awhile.

and i dont even think very much of those two other than career backups.

Both REALLY scare me if Alex goes down...

They're the next Brady and Marino. Just ask some of these dipshits

I agree. I saw him play UH in Houston last season. The Coogs had a miracle comeback to win it, but what impressed me about Lynch that game was his decision making in the heat of a rush. Dude kept his poise. He's also MUCH faster than he looks. He can run very well.

LOL! BUT they're NOWHERE near the pure awesomeness of one Ricky Stanzi!

Murrrrrrriiiiicccccccccaaaaaaaaaa

Ricky the real American hero

I don't see any real way Lynch makes it out of the top 15. Too many teams with current or very near future needs at the position and he's a hell of a prospect. If he gets within striking distance of KC's pick, I think its a no-brainer to, not just sit there and hope he falls to 28, but move up and grab the kid.

I agree and even if he did get in striking range I don't think we have enough ammo in picks alone to do it but they might take a player(a la JC) and a pick or two you never know:shrug:

This is true. Homeboy just needed a chance.

Osweiler 2.0

This is an idiotic post. Moving up for an unknown product when the draft is heavy in defensive players?

How about one every 35 years or so? That OK with you sparky?

Got to disagree the kid has a great arm

Agreed.

He is a notch below Bray...10 above Alex/Aaron.

To say he has a weak arm is reckless.

That dumbass is only here because of Alex Smith. **** him.

We have bigger needs obviously. The only way Dorsey pulls the trigger on Lynch is if he's there and he is just in love with him for the future and I mean all the way around he thinks this guy is a stud. Smart and a leader of men.

I doubt we draft him and I doubt he will be around when we pick anyway.

I'll say this about if KC doesn't draft a QB Bray must be really crushing it, because Murray should've attained the 2nd string spot by mid season. It's not much to expect for a player that's heralded to have 1st round talent pre-injury,

You're dumb.

Dorsey and Reid obviously liked chase and that is the only reason he was no. 2

Because they actually think he can play. Pederson picking him up pretty much proves that.

Why? They've both looked pretty good in the limited time we've seen them in training camp and preseason.

Well, Murray has. Bray has just been... well... Bray.

Wow, calling me idiotic... That's entertaining given the bulk of your posts.

For starters, they are ALL unknown products at this point. Some are safer bets than others, but none are anywhere near 100% sureties. Yes, when a potential franchise QB is staring you dead in the face you don't pass that chance up, especially when you can pull off a perfect scenario like the Packers did with Rodgers and let him sit and develop for a couple years. A move up with a team like Washington where you can give them 28, a 2nd, and a 5th for 21 and their 3rd, yeah I'd put that deal on the table. Any further than that, no, I'd probably hold tight.

You are a ****ing moron.

If he drops to them and they're smitten with the tiy, by all means take him.

I'm not a fan of trading up for the guy AND having him sit. That's alot of value you're losing in the immediate term.

I like Lynch but I'd prefer a pro style QB who had to read defenses, or a spread system that forced the QB to do that (Goff).

Yeah we run a lot of spread concepts but Bottomline is you're gonna need those skills at some point in this league.

His decision making is bad. His release his slow. And he's a 6 '7'' giant target that is easy to read
