Can't blame us for not meeting that asking price if we were indeed interested in moving up to 1. It would have taken probably our 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 1st next year to move up for a guy who quite honestly is still a bit of a developmental prospect. I was one of the first to get on the Wentz hype train before the Senior Bowl and before the FCS Championship, there's alot to like there but the guy is not Luck and he needs development/time to learn, you can't pay that price for a guy like that in our situation.
I'll also say that I think Lynch may be more of a real possibility at 4 than any of us think. We sent basically the entire front office to work him out, we haven't done that with any other QB prospect, and I'll also say that I'd rather take Lynch at 4 than pay that price for Wentz despite liking Wentz more. As I've said for a long time now, the main advantages that Wentz has over Lynch are that he comes from a more pro style system where he had more pre-snap responsibility (this may be a non-issue if Lynch takes to coaching/learning from Romo) and that Wentz is completely sterling off the field, which is an unknown with Lynch, although I've read that he impressed at the Combine. Basically, there is less risk there with Wentz, but not necessarily because of physical ability or talent. Lynch has a bigger arm, I think he is just about as mobile and I think he does a better job than Wentz of using his mobility to buy time and make plays downfield.
Obviously I'd take Goff over Lynch at 4 if he's there, but I can't shake the feeling that Lynch is more in play at 4 than we realize.
With all that said, the smart money is on us taking Ramsey now assuming that Wentz/Goff/Tunsil go top 3. The only thing I can say is that hopefully we play him at safety and not CB, while I would not be happy with the pick at all, especially if we play him at CB, I think a Ramsey/Jones pairing could be the best safety combo in the league by 2017 or 2018.
