Player: Jared Goff
Drafted: First round, No. 1 overall by the Los Angeles Rams

Player: Carson Wentz
Drafted: First round, No. 2 overall by the Philadelphia Eagles

That changed this year, when Wentz's rise forced NFL teams to make the long journey to Fargo.

Player: Christian Hackenberg
Drafted: Second round, No. 51 overall by the New York Jets

Inconsistent game tape didn't frighten the Jets from conjuring up a shocking selection in the second round. No matter the scouting data many other teams might have obtained, the Jets felt that was insignificant next to the promise of a potential future franchise quarterback.
