Carson Wentz 2016 NFL Draft Chatter
Might as well start the catch all thread for Wentz because there's going to be a lot of press about him over the next 3 and a half months.
Currently both Mel Kiper Jr and Todd McShay have him in their first round mock drafts and I'd imagine he has a better chance of rising into the top half of the first round than he does of falling out of it since so many teams need QBs and this is a weak QB class according to the experts I've heard from. In any case it seems very likely Wentz is the first FCS player off the board in this year's NFL draft.

Things could get interesting post Senior Bowl and Combine.......
Re: Carson Wentz 2016 NFL Draft Chatter
Well, the Wentz hype train has officially left the station is picking up steam in a big way. Daniel Jeremiah of NFL.com has Wentz going #4 overall to the Cowboys in his latest mock draft: http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/mock-d...eremiah/275602
Some "draft expert" in the twittersphere seemed to think that if Wentz impresses at the Senior Bowl he may not be there for the Cowboys at #4. I wouldn't mind seeing him in Dallas since the Cowboys have Romo entrenched as the starter for at least the next year but I'd be a bit worried if Wentz went that high because the expectation would be that he should be able to start right away or early in his rookie season and I don't think that's a reasonable expectation for him.
At this point I wonder if Wentz even throws at the NFL Combine with as high as his stock is soaring? Last year the top QBs bucked the trend of top QB prospects not throwing at the combine and hopefully that continues because I'd like to see all the skills these guys have to offer on display at the NFL Combine.
Also, WTH did Connor Cook decline his Senior Bowl invite? By most accounts he's behind Wentz, Jared Goff, and Paxton Lynch so it's not like he's a bona fide 1st rounder (as Wentz is trending towards). It just seems silly he'd turn down the chance to compete in front of scouts for every single NFL team against top competition. That can't look good in the eyes of teams when there are already questions about his character.

To follow up on the Twitter stuff the guy who said he might not be there at four also said don't assume it's Cleveland either.
Here's my WAY the **** off the wall thought, Tennessee trades Mariotta to SF for their first, Chip gets his guy Tennessee gets Wentz and a high first.
Way to early just some wishful thinking. He ends up #1 and he doesn't have to go to Cleveland.

The Broncos could use him, but I hope they don't take him, he isn't going to fall that low anyway. Hope he goes to Dallas.

Ha-ha omg I'm dying!!! That's effing hilarious
Re: Carson Wentz 2016 NFL Draft Chatter
Wentz will be a good fit behind a veteran QB for 2 years to learn the NFL. Arizona, San Diego, NO, GB?, Baltimore could be good fits.
Look what Jimmy Garrapallo has waiting for him in the next couple of years when Brady retires.

Brady's said many times he doesn't plan on retiring for 10 years. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't make it that long, but I equally wouldn't be surprised if Jimmy ends up like Mallet. Use up your rookie contract and then maybe get a shot somewhere and that's a big maybe.
The sitting behind a veteran is a double edged sword. It worked out well for Rodgers, but others get buried and then the veteran never leaves or not soon enough to get their shot. With that being said Arizona and Denver would be great, because Palmer and Manning are getting to the point their bodies are going to force them out. However, at this point if he doesn't play horrible in the Senior bowl or really look off at the combine and his pro day, I don't think he'll be available that late.
