In a ranking of the top quarterback draft prospects since 2011, NFL Media analyst Daniel Jeremiah slotted Cal's Jared Goff in at No. 8.
As has tended to be the consensus evaluation to this point, North Dakota State's Carson Wentz ranked just ahead of Goff at No. 8. In Jeremiah's breakdown, the 6-foot-4, 215-pound Cal gunslinger finds himself in the company of Wentz (just above) and (gulp) Johnny Manziel just below at No. 9. The rankings are based purely on scouting of college games, not the NFL, hence why Manziel is ranked ninth rather than, say, 8,000th. But back to Goff. Wrote Jeremiah, "He has a very similar grade to Wentz. I love the accuracy and toughness, which is very similar to [Vikings QB Teddy] Bridgewater."
