Downtown says:

I havenโ€™t been a fan of Lynch since day one. Iโ€™ve watched his tape and I see a big quarterback who can throw over really bad defenses. He has accruacy concerns, especially on his deep ball. Lynch has a strong arm but I donโ€™t feel comfortable with how inaccurate he can be. Lynch will need to get better at reading defenses for me to feel more comfortable with him as a solid starting quaterback in the NFL. Lynch can get out of the pocket and make plays with his feet but his footwork in the pocket needs to be polished. If I were a GM of an NFL team, Iโ€™d be very hesitant on drafting Lynch.

Dorf says:

Paxton Lynch reminds me a lot of Ryan Mallett minus the off the field issues but he is a bit more athletic inside and outside of the pocket. Heโ€™s got the frame and size to drool over. His on the field performance against inferior competition could be better but the talent around him wasnโ€™t exactly great either. He has Pro-Bowl level potential, but the chances he ever reaches it are slim to none.
