Jared Goff*, QB, California
Height: 6-4. Weight: 210.
Projected 40 Time: 4.71.
Projected Round (2016): 1.
2/4/16: In 2015, Goff completed 64 percent of his passes for 4,719 yards with 43 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. He beat up on weak competition early in the season, but he didn't play as well against quality opponents like Utah, UCLA and USC. Goff bounced back to close out the regular season well against Stanford and Arizona State.
Still, Goff demonstrated his strong, accurate arm and quality field vision. He also has functional mobility to avoid rushers and pick up some yards on the ground. Goff needs to add weight for the NFL and also could have some issues with getting rattled and handling the rush at the next level.
Goff's stats were inflated by a college offense that has a lot of instant passes, and coming from that system, he will need development for the NFL with field vision, working under center and holding up in the face of a pass rush. Goff displayed good mechanics at times, but also had some issues maintaining that when faced with a lot of pressure, and that led to some bad habits of throwing off his back foot. He has said he is working to correct those problems.
Some scouts said that Goff has been overhyped. One scouting director said that Goff was a good player, but he didn't feel he was "top of the draft" worthy right now. Another scout said they were lukewarm on Goff as a pro quarterback.
In speaking to another general manager from a team that is among the best at evaluating and developing quarterbacks, he felt that Goff was the best of the draft-eligible signal-callers. Obviously, there isn't a real consensus about Goff among NFL evaluators.
8/8/14: Goff enjoyed a breakout 2014 season. The sophomore completed 62 percent of his passes for 3,973 yards with 35 touchdowns and seven interceptions. Goff displayed some pocket-passing potential while playing with a less-than-ideal supporting cast. He struggled against USC's good defense taking sacks and had a few interceptions dropped. Goff needs to perform better against top competition. He became the starter as a freshman in 2013 and completed 60 percent of his passes for 3,508 yards with 18 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.

First off I don't think Goff falls to 12, 2nd not sure I give up that much for a project. Every QB in this draft is a project and at the same time they will go much to early for there skills sets.
I like Wentz, but he is a project also. Not sure I would give up 3 picks for him. And I was willing to look at a trade up. But the reality is the Texans have a ton of holes. And this is a defense heavy draft.
So I'm torn as what to do. I hate where we are currently, no QB and holes to plug at RB, OL, TE, SS, DE, NT. But also not in love with any of the guys enough to give up 3 picks to get him. I am more inclined to give up next years #1 before I am this years #2.
And truly, if the team likes one of the lessor guys, Cook - Hackenburg - Prescott, they can save picks and possibly trade down. The fans will go crazy on Thursday night of the draft if they trade down.
