Goff is the only QB I see worthy of a first round grade, honestly.
Lynch and Wentz are only slightly lesser prospects than Winston and Mariotta? You've got to be kidding me? That serious hyperbole. They had significantly stronger tape against significantly stronger talent than either Wentz or Lynch has faced.
What I see is, when I am trying to project a QB based largely on his physical tools, as opposed to his actual play and film, they aren't worth a high pick. The only one who has the stats, tape and close proximity to physical tools, is Goff. Wentz is a physical beast but he played seriously inferior talent and has only played a season and a half at the college level. Lynch played better competition than Wentz, but we're still talking about a lot of middling defenses. Even at that, he was erratic and often didn't play his best in big games.
The way I look at it is this: Anytime you have the chance to grab a QB you think can be a future franchise player you do it. No matter the state of your team. However, I don't think if Romo hadn't gotten hurt this year, and we still managed a top-5 pick, anyone would even be humoring the idea of selecting Wentz or Lynch this high. It's still a knee-jerk reaction to Romo's situation. It's not proper talent evaluation.
If the talent evaluators think they have a shot at a guy at four who is truly a franchise QB, then I trust them to pull the trigger. I just hope they're not locked in on it simply because of what happened this year.
