  • #1Tits & #3SD may fight for Tunsil. We want Goff take him @2. I trust nothing after #4 Dallas if we want Wentz.

    So take Tunsil at 2 and trade to San Diego for Goff and a second or third.

    How many teams trade into the Top 5 to not select a QB? Not being a dick, just asking and not a lot of time to research. But that's my open-ended question/reply.

    Besides us moving up one spot to take TR at #3?

    Since 2000....

    • Jags traded up to #5 to take Blackmon.
    • Bills traded up to #4 with us to take Watkins.
    • Fins traded up to #3 to take Dion Jordon.
    • Falcons to #6 for Julio.
    • Jets traded up to #4 to take Dwayne Robinson (?).
    • Saints traded the farm to move up to #2 to take Ricky Williams.
    • WSH traded up to #3 to take Chris Samuels.
    • Ravens traded up to #5 to take Jamal Lewis.

    Thanks, didn't remember that many off the top of my head.

    Not very many Top 2s.

    And not very many great picks in that group.

    Sheeze, the silly season has started. Can we start a little more humble with the ceiling stuff like Joe Flacco? Just got around to catching the Senior Bowl- he does have the athletic talent, arm & smarts. Can he read and react to a pro defense, that's a few orders of magnitude more difficult than D II? Plenty of cannon armed qbs that were total flops in the pros.

    The silly season started for me months ago. For tia, months before that.

    The Flacco comparison goes only as far as the level of competition. As far as on-field comparisons, Lynch is much closer to Flacco than Wentz. The Luck comparison, IMO, is because of Wentz's athletic ability + size + pro-style experience combination. He's not a world beater athlete a la RG3, but he's certainly a threat on his feet. He doesn't possess a cannon arm a la Russell, but he's certainly capable of making every NFL throw. He's not a towering monster a la Lynch, but he certainly possesses an NFL frame.

    I just find it funny that there are people desperately clinging to "polish" like it's a mutually exclusive trait. Just because Goff is "more polished", doesn't mean Wentz isn't polished in his own right. It's not one or the other when it comes to that.

    Maybe some find it important that a guy comes in immediately and does...ok. Personally, I'd rather a guy sit for 6-12 games, then have a great career.

    Perhaps, but there are extra-curricular issues that might prove a problem. Also, RG3 has at least shown some semblance of success in the league.

    True, but if you only looked at the last two years of play Johnny shows way more upside...

    You mean ignore RG3's pro-bowl, rookie of the year time and only look at those years where he's not played? Sure. Same could be said of Austin Davis or Brandon Weeden.

  • If you only looked at Johnny's completions, he's never thrown an incomplete pass.

    TC, I'll leave it to Hue which one he likes better. It's the Manziel question all over. Granted Wentz has the higher upside, but Goff is the lesser risk.

    Yeah, they're both risks, but please get it right for once.

  • Wentz may objectively have the higher ceiling, but if he's not ready to start immediately - and at some point this season he'll have to start, you can be sure of that - there's a very good chance he gets destroyed before he can reach that ceiling. If Goff, as he appears to be, is ready to start on day 1, but maybe doesn't have a HoF ceiling, he's still more likely to have success with the browns than Wentz.

    Just my 2p.

    Me neither... I think I had 2 off the top. The site made it easy to flip through a few years.

    Not many top 2s, but a lot more traded picks, if expand to top ten.

    The most surprising thing to me was the relatively low number of trade ups for QB.

    Way more than "polish" in my case. Deeply ingrained fundamentals and demonstrated read/progression capability are the major differences I see.

    Odds of a great career after 6-12 sits seem greater for the guy with the better chance of success had he started Day 1.

    I know it's not necessarily your position, but I'd like someone to make this case... and I'll settle for subjectively...

    For a long time I've conceded it, but the more I look, the less obvious this is given that I see Goff's floor as having already cleared the greatest hurdle pro QBs must hurdle.

    For me Goff's floor is Alex Smith/Andy Dalton. But of course this is always subjective.

    As for Wentz' ceiling, who knows.
