The Los Angeles Rams have made Cal quarterback Jared Goff the first overall pick of the 2016 NFL Draft .
The Rams , who traded all the way up from pick 15 with the Tennessee Titans in order to have their choice of this year’s top prospects, confirmed their decision to open Thursday’s first round in Chicago.
Goff enjoyed a stellar college career starring at the University of California setting single-season records for passing yards and touchdowns in the Pac-12 last season before declaring for this year’s draft.
Talent evaluators laud Goff’s decision-making, pocket poise and accuracy and believe him to be the most pro-ready passer in the 2016 class.
And the Rams appear to agree taking Goff to be their next quarterback and face of the franchise after their high-profile move from St Louis to LA this offseason.
North Dakota State’s Carson Wentz was selected second by the Philadelphia Eagles, who themselves broke the bank in a second blockbuster trade to move up the board to #2.
The draft continues with the second and third rounds on Friday with rounds four, five, six and seven being completed on Saturday.
Should he win the starting job in training camp Goff’s first game in the professional ranks will be against the San Francisco 49ers on September 12.
