Romo 36 -
Tony Romo has talked to Jerry Jones, is cool with drafting a QB

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...ed-to-jerry-jones-is-cool-with-drafting-a-qb/

so you expect him to get by - well I don't

12 Saints -Brees 36 - Sean Payton

13 Eagles - Sam Bradford is awful - The MMQB column, Peter King makes it sound like Bradford's return to Philadelphia is far from a lock.

15 Rams - Foles lost his job to Case Keenum - Rams will explore options http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/01/04/case-keenum-heads-into-offseason-as-starter-rams-will-explore-options/

I think not

Wentz plays in a multi-offense and lines up both from under center and in the spread. The passing game has some sophistication to it and it requires the quarterback to go through a progression and has some whole field reads

Unlike many of the college spread offenses we see, the North Dakota State offense doesn’t have the quarterback make a high number of short throws at or around the line of scrimmage. This offense has the quarterback throwing the ball downfield. It is far more similar to a pro offense than many of the spreads we see quarterbacks running.

Looking at his stats, in his 1.5 years as a starter, he has thrown for close to 4100 yards, 65% completion percentage, 35 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He has also rushed for over 800 yards the last two seasons.

While generally level of competition is a concern when evaluating quarterbacks, I don’t see any problems with this player. He has played well against FBS schools and won a FCS National Championship last year. He consistently shows poise and leadership and is in total command on the field.

The upside is he will develop into a quality starter. He has more talent than Jimmy Garoppolo from the 2014 draft and should get drafted higher. From what I have seen to date, I would have no problem pulling the trigger on this player in the first round.

I like Wentz. But I wouldn't pay a lick of attention to anything Peter King thinks. 95% of his investigative reporting is done on Belichek's couch. But he can tell you who makes the best coffee in Boston.

Wentz could see a metoric rise. Much depends on his Senior Bowl week. An average week he is a late first early 2nd. A good week he is in the top 10. His physical tools are right there with Lynch

#10 is way too high for Wentz. Doubt Scooby Wright falls to the 3rs. Same with Mitchell in the 4th.

It's possible. If he kills the predraft process, he absolutely can legitimately move into the 1st round. It's still very early.

So we are taking Wentz at pick 10 and yet another TE in the 2nd round:thumbdown:

If that was our actual draft, I would need some new drywall work done.:laugh:
