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.

No need for a trade up.I am not sure if te browns pick a qb and they may well pick lynch.

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

You would expect Jerry to actually move up to 1 for the QB? I doubt it. I'd be shocked if they did. They'd probably just accept the Browns will take their QB so they might as well move on to cornerbacks and tight ends.

I like Goff although I'm happy to sit at 4 and take Lynch.

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.

th 1st is 3000 th 4th is 1500 so we'd owe 1500
so thats this years 1st, next years first plus another high pick

3 months away I think Goff is #1 but Wentz and Lynch aren't so far behind
with a couple years marinating on the bench they'd have a good chance
of running our offense

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.

If you're making that move for Goff, you better do it on the heels of an exceptional free agency period.

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.

I would love to grab the heir apparent if we can in this draft but I am flexible enough to grab BPA at #4 and a QB later if that is how things shake out.

Free agency may shape some of the QB strategy as well in terms of where one is selected.

I do worry about their QB evaluation ability, the track record has been poor.
