Paxton Lynch could be heir-apparent to Drew Brees, linked to Saints

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport is reporting that the New Orleans Saints are a "team to watch late in the top 10" to select Memphis QB Paxton Lynch in the NFL Draft as the heir apparent to Drew Brees. Brees is 37 years old and is at the back end of his career. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
The Saints were in the mix to trade up for the first overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, but the move proved to be too costly for New Orleans according to reports. With Drew Brees at the tail end of his career, the Saints have a need at the quarterback position, and Paxton Lynch is expected to be available for them at the 12th pick. If selected, Lynch could sit behind Brees to learn the system and step into the starter role when the veteran's time is up in New Orleans.
