Interesting order though not sure I agree on Wentz being below Lynch. I do agree that Goff is #1. And while I'm about as big of a homer there is (I went to high school with the guy), objectively I think he's the clear number one.
I like guys that have been highly touted as NFL prospects for a long time. Not guys that skyrocket at the end of their senior season or in the pre draft process. Goff has improved significantly year over year and his team followed his progression. I think the #1 most difficult thing for young quarterbacks to learn is mobility within the pocket and having a willingness to step into a throw, knowing you're getting hit and delivering the ball accurately. That is Goff's best attribute.
I think he's uniquely positioned to overcome having a poor team around him. Wentz's team, on the other hand, has always been stacked relative to his competition and his team excelled without him. I think it's going to be a much tougher transition for him.

Wentz #2 in my opinion. He has a massive ceiling if he gets with the right coaches and team.

Paxton Lynch is a bust in the making. I'd much rather have Wentz over him.

The concerns with Lynch are that he is the closest to Kaepernick of the top 5 QB prospects. Long delivery motion, played in the most basic offense, reportedly struggled remembering plays done on the whiteboard during interviews, bad footwork to boot.
I think he'll have the hardest time by far of the top prospects transitioning his game from college to the NFL.

I'm liking Dak Prescott more and more.
I'm not an expert BUT I don't feel Wentz nor Goff are franchise QB's
I feel they'l be very good players, especially Wentz.
