Yeah, sorry, but that's completely hamstered. Mariota had a solid enough rookie year that there's no way any organization could have justified going QB in back-to-back years. And Wentz and Goff were considered to be much worse prospects than Winston and Mariota by the "experts". I remember plenty of pre-draft analysis stating that they would be second or third round picks in other draft years.
