It's simple to me. If the personnel department is telling me there's only one franchise caliber QB, I'm moving up for that guy. I don't care if I have to give up next year's 1 to do it. If that evaluation is correct, I will have greatly improved my team for the next decade.
This is why I hope they dont feel Goff is the only Franchise QB. If you grade Lynch and Wentz as potential franchise QB's, there is no need to trade. If they dont, I fully expect them to trade.
If I was a betting man however, with all things considered I think they will take Wentz at 4 before they trade up for Goff
This is the same fan base that saluted wasting a 2nd round pick in a trade up for Morris Claiborne.
At least with the Goff trade you'd have the potential to actually impact the team.

We obviously would have to get infront of Cleveland if we really want to make sure we get Goff, so we are talking about moving from pick 4 to pick 1?
I don't have a trade value chart, but that is probably going to cost us a 2nd round pick at a minimum?
Don't do it.........I don't see a big enough difference between Goff and others to trade up and lose picks.
If they truly believe Goff is the next Andrew Luck (even Alex Smith or Jameis Winston), as much as I despise the idea of doing it, I think it would be tough to pass up the opportunity. It's just impossible to compete seriously in the NFL without a top-notch passer.
I (and I'm sure many others) HATED that trade. I hate trading up, in almost all circumstances.
Right. That's why you have those scouts. How do you not make every attempt to obtain that player when you're sitting there at 4 and they're telling you there's a franchise QB to be had?
For what? A CB? Another DE? LB? It pales in comparison.
Only thing that I fear in this scenario is the Cowboys actual evaluation of the QB's, their track record has been horrid.
I don't even fear that as much as fear reaching as a knee-jerk reaction for a QB.
