Carson Wentz is this year’s “it” prospect for the entire 2016 NFL Draft, not just for players who are at the Senior Bowl. He won four national championships during his time at North Dakota State and at 6-6, 230 pounds possesses elite size for the position. What he doesn’t have is experience against elite competition after dominating the FCS ranks, but it’s something he can get a taste of this week in Mobile.

What he doesn’t have is experience against elite competition after dominating the FCS ranks, but it’s something he can get a taste of this week in Mobile.

With a handful of teams in dire need of a young quarterback and Jared Goff and Paxton Lynch the only arms considered first rounders, Wentz may have already secured his spot in the first round. He can secure a spot in the top 10 with a dominant week of practice that carries over into the game and juggles the order of Goff, Lynch and Wentz to the point where he could be the first arm taken.
