2016 NFL Mock Draft: Trades Mark The First Three Picks

53. Hue Jackson said he would go after a quarterback, and he fulfills that promise.  The reason he trades back though is because he guesses, correctly, that Carson Wentz would still be on the board.  It’s not so much lesser ability that this is the case, but more to do with the fact that he’s less proven. <p>Wentz is a two-time national championship winner, but all of that success came at North Dakota State.  He’s feasted his entire college career on mostly FCS competition.  That said he’s also an undeniable talent:  6’6″ with above average mobility and a live arm that can deliver passes with accuracy and pop.  It’s proven he plays well in pressure games, so it’s just a matter of whether he can speed up his internal clock for NFL defenses.</p>.
