Just curious what some people think because this attribute to me more and more is the most important trait a QB can have and then the mental aspect... the big arm and athleticism is gravy

I rate this a weak QB field, which is yet another good reason not to take one. I'd say Goff is the most accurate, so it's not surprising he's ranked first by most. I have not seen Wentz play live. Based on film and asking a few colleagues Wentz concerns some with his deep accuracy. He has trouble leading receivers on these throws. In some cases this can be fixed with repetitions. Others believe some prospects have an issue with spatial imaging and can't be fixed.

If he or Wentz is there at #29, I think the Cardinals take one of them.

Lots and lots of options at #29 for the Cardinals, IMO.

The Cardinals cannot make the same mistake with the Quarterback position that they did with the offensive line, and that is to not invest in the position in the draft.

IMO Lynch would be a slam dunk gift, but I think he goes as high as #11 to the Rams, ( but they are idiots come draft time and would leave him on the board for the Eagles). Something I find coincidental is that the 3 top QBs did not have an elite supporting cast, and the public (casual fan) opinion is that they are lacking in polish and perceived as mediocre. Any one of these QBs on a pro team with support could be qualified starters. Cook, Jones, Hackenberg etc had much better rosters to play with and were mediocre at best. My dark horse is Jeff Driskel, an Urban Meyer reject ( not a bad thing). If he is available 3rd round ( doubtful ), finally a mid round "project" worth drafting. Not great % passer, but his supporting cast was not elite. La Tech had a prolific offense with him.

Would LOVE if Wentz or Lynch fell to the Cards. I doubt that they will because of so many teams in need of a QB

Rams have the 15 pick, the Eagles draft 8th after their swapping with the Dolphins who now have the 13th pick.

Browns, Cowboys, 49ers, Eagles and Rams all should be looking hard at the QB position. Bills and Jets pick before us so that's two more teams that could take a QB.

Can't see any of the "top 3" QB's sliding to us.

If I felt a need that I had to take a QB in this draft, I would take Hackenberg in the third hoping he was there :)

Wentz easy choice

If the Browns screw up as they always seem to do and bypass on Wentz then if the Cowboys don't take him at 4, Mr Jones needs a lobotomy.

Something tells me the Cowpies, Lambs, Niners or Iggles tries to sneak in front of the Browns for the #1 pick & taking a QB.

I'm not sure about that. Is JJ in the win now mode believing all he needs is a healthy Romo? I think he should be trying to get Wentz or Goff but is he willing to give up the draft capital if he prefers one over the other. My guess is he sits still and takes a defensive player.

Lambs don't have the draft capital to move all the way up to the #1 pick, ain't happening.

Eagles don't have a 2nd rd pick this year and it will simply cost too much to get up to the #1 pick.

Niners have a bunch of picks so they are the team that could make the move. Do the Titans want to drop down to the 7th pick because that drops them out of the Elite prospect range. If they love LT's Stanley and Conklin then they can expect one of them to be there.
