Paxton Lynch thinks he has a chance to play right away

Broncos QB Mark Sanchez worked with the first team most often in the spring and has more experience than Trevor Siemian and first-round pick Paxton Lynch. Siemian has appeared to be the likelier alternative of the two, but Lynch said Tuesday that he hasn’t gotten that impression from Kubiak or anyone else despite.

“I definitely think I have the opportunity to better myself and put myself up in that position to play right away or sooner than I had thought,” Lynch said, via ESPN.com. “I knew those guys were going to be ahead of me just because of experience — Trevor his experience in the offense and Mark his experience in the league and me being a rookie, and this is the first time I’ve seen a playbook like that.”

All indications point to Sanchez being named the starter but a lot can happen between now and the start of the season. Sanchez can look good at times and terrible at others so even if he's named the starter there's a chance he won't hold the job for any length of time.
