Mike Mayock Mock Draft: Paxton Lynch to the Jets

Mike Mayock has his final mock out in preparation for Thursday's first round of the 2016 NFL Draft. Like many other analysts, he has the Jets taking a new quarterback of the future.

20 NYJ PAXTON LYNCH QB MEMPHIS

Ryan Fitzpatrick did a heck of a job last season, but I don't think the Jets have the answer on that roster at quarterback. Lynch is a lot like Joe Flacco, but is more athletic. Lynch can be special, and I don't think Bryce Petty or Geno Smith are the answer.

Lynch is Mayock's third quarterback off the board. Jared Goff and Carson Wentz unsurprisingly go 1-2 to the Rams and the Eagles while the Memphis signal caller slides all the way down to 20.

I know Lynch is a divisive prospect, but there is a possibility he will be a Jet before the night is out. This team is pretty clearly in the market for a quarterback, and he seems to be the consensus best guy who will not be off the board following the second pick.
