If Jared Goff is available at No. 4 overall, should the Dallas Cowboys take him?
ESPN draft guru Mel Kiper Jr. released his mock draft 2.0 on Thursday and he has the 'Boys selecting the talented quarterback in the first round. Here's what Kiper had to say about his pick of Goff at No. 4:
This is going to be a fascinating situation. On one hand, the Dallas front office isn't the least bit delusional if they look at the roster with a healthy Tony Romo and believe they can compete for a playoff spot, which makes it harder to take a QB who might not see the field for a couple of years. But ... let's not forget that they need to upgrade the backup QB situation, period. That's what derailed them last season when Romo was out. Tough call, especially if Goff is the top QB on their board and he's available here.
If Goff is the best player available, why not? The Cowboys desperately need their quarterback of the future with Romo's career coming to an end soon and Goff can be the replacement. It would be the exact situation that Aaron Rodgers was in before Brett Favre hung it up in Green Bay.
Goff is rated as the No. 4 overall prospect and No. 1 quarterback for this year's draft by CBS Sports. Goff has been projected by many to go No. 2 overall to the Browns, but Kiper has Cleveland selecting quarterback Carson Wentz. Wherever Goff ends up, the QB is not concerned.
"I'm not worried about it," Goff recently said. "I'm excited about it. Whatever team I go to, I'll be excited to go. I want to be the future of a franchise. I think I can be a guy who can make an impact right away.
"I think my accuracy is as good as it gets at this level. I think my pocket presence and my ability to extend plays speak for themselves. I'm confident I'll be the best quarterback in the draft."
The Cowboys passed up on many talented players in Kiper's mock draft 2.0. FSU defensive back Jalen Ramsey goes No. 5 to the Jaguars, Ohio State defensive end Joey Bosa goes No. 6 to the Ravens and UCLA linebacker Myles Jack goes No. 7 to the 49ers.
