http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutd ... 05259.htmlINDIANAPOLIS — The buzz and fascination around North Dakota State quarterback Carson Wentz hasn't slowed down much since his solid Senior Bowl performance heading into the NFL scouting combine, and there's a good chance he could be a top-five pick in the 2016 NFL draft.
The Cleveland Browns are a possibility at No. 2 overall. The Dallas Cowboys have to be interested at four. The other teams picking in the top five, even without a quarterback need, all could be open for business for trading down for a QB-needy team. NFL Network's Mike Mayock compared Wentz's upside to that of Indianapolis' Andrew Luck.
The hype is starting to become reality.

Wentz Top 5?
Not really shocked because in addition to his size and apparent IQ I've always thought that he has outstanding footwork for a guy of his stature.
Re: Wentz Top 5?
They sure seem to like him
I was surprised to see V.Adams run a 4.8
Thought he was faster than that

It would be nice if he could go somewhere and sit a couple years to learn the system and adapt to the NFL speed.

Re: Wentz Top 5?
His point was that a lot of QBs that went on to start NFL games fell victim to the WaGriz magic. Josh McCown threw 4 picks in the 2001 quarters, Tony Romo got his ass handed to him in the 2000 first round, John Friesz fell victim to "Nygren's Ride" in 1988, etc.clenz wrote:Also winless in the UNIDomeAZGrizFan wrote:Another opposing pro QB winless in WA/Griz.

Re: Wentz Top 5?
Romo lost a playoff game, at home, to UNI
Super Bowl champion Brandon Jacobs was winless against UNI
See, pretty much every college can start picking NFL guys and go "he didn't beat us"

Re: Wentz Top 5?
Bison lost, but Montana didn't really stop Wentz, 2 passing TD's and 2 rushing TD's. A young Bison defense could not stop the Griz offense, giving up 38 points.Mvemjsunpx wrote:His point was that a lot of QBs that went on to start NFL games fell victim to the WaGriz magic.

Right. Wentz lost, but he didn't play bad. Of course, we don't know if he'll actually end up starting an NFL game.Gil Dobie wrote:Bison lost, but Montana didn't really stop Wentz, 2 passing TD's and 2 rushing TD's.
