Bradford’s frustration with Philadelphia’s desire to draft a quarterback has been displayed over the last couple of days and it should be interesting to see if the team gives in and grants the former No. 1 pick’s request for a trade.
California¿s Jared Goff poses for photos upon arriving for the first round of the 2016 NFL football draft at the Auditorium Theater of Roosevelt University, Thursday, April 28, 2016, in Chicago.
The leap promises to be a significant one for Wentz, who spent his collegiate career at North Dakota State, playing at a lower level of competition than Goff.
The Browns, who traded the No. 2 pick to the Eagles last week, moved down again in the first major deal of the night and grabbed Baylor wide receiver Corey Coleman with the 15th pick. Most mock drafts had the Chargers taking either Florida State defensive back Jalen Ramsey or offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil of Mississippi.

I’ll be talking more about the players the team has actually selected once the draft officially ends, but for now we still have an entire day consisting of four rounds chock full of potential key contributors and depth pieces to keep the roster brimming with possibilities.
