Jackson is believed to have wanted Jared Goff but once it became clear that the Los Angeles Rams would take the Cal product at No. 1 overall, Cleveland shifted gears and moved down, picking up three picks from the Eagles in this year’s draft, along with a first-rounder in 2017 and their second-rounder in 2018.
As for Wentz, when he found out the good news, he knew he was ready.

If Wentz does ends up starting in Week 1, it would be a dramatic shift for the Eagles, who have said they planned to sit the rookie for a large bulk of the 2016 season. “Obviously, as this thing continues, we will get better and better”. Apparently, if the Browns win it will validate everything they have done; if not, then passing on Wentz will be a franchise-ending mistake.
