NFL Mock Draft 2016: Cleveland commits a heist

California. Jared Goff. 1. player. 51. <p>With the Rams potentially mortgaging their organizational future to move up to number one in this year’s draft, there is zero question as to whether the team will invest in a quarterback. There is, however, some debate about <em>which</em> signal-caller will land in Los Angeles.</p> <p>In the interest of full disclosure, I am a Carson Wentz guy. That has been a consistent theme throughout the draft season, and with all things equal, I favor Wentz over Jared Goff. Still, things are not equal here, and that swings things in the direction of the former California product.</p> <p>Goff is much “safer” when it comes to playing right away, and that comes into play for the Rams. Los Angeles will likely ask its first-round investment to start right away or, at the very least, be ready to start from Week 1 given the situation the franchise is in with a new market. Goff is the more accurate passer that also played at a higher college level, and because this is basically a tie in the minds of most folks, that experience and readiness serves as the difference in his direction.</p> <p>The Rams may go for the upside pick and that is Wentz, but the smart money is on the safer pick in this spot.</p>.
