Jared Goff looks a little lost in Los Angeles. Carson Wentz has been hurt in Philadelphia. And Paxton Lynch is entangled in an unusual quarterback triangle in Denver.
The Rams, Eagles and Broncos thought so much of those quarterbacks in April that they traded a combined 13 draft picks to move up in the first round for them — with 11 of those picks dished out by Los Angeles and Philadelphia alone.
That seems like a lot to give up to have a guy holding a clipboard on opening day.
In recent years, it’s almost guaranteed that a quarterback taken in the top 10 of the NFL draft is an opening-day starter.
