For the second consecutive year, the Broncos traded up to nab their guy.
Denver gave up a third-round selection (No. 94) to move up to No. 26 and take Memphis quarterback Paxton Lynch.
Lynch is projected to sign a contract worth an estimated $9.48 million, according to Spotrac. Per the 2011 collective bargaining agreement, rookie contracts are predetermined and set at four years; first-round picks have team options for a fifth year.
As expected, the Rams selected California quarterback Jared Goff at No. 1, and the Eagles followed by taking North Dakota State quarterback Carson Wentz.
