Scouts supposedly love Jared Goff's mechanics and accuracy

[*ochocincos*]

If the Bengals were to think about moving on from Dalton but end up in the latter half of the first round, Jared Goff is a QB that is (currently) projected to go in the late first round.

It's been reported that scouts "love Goff's mechanics and accuracy," according to ESPN Insider....

Quote:Cal sophomore QB Jared Goff boasts sound mechanics and natural accuracy as a thrower, according to Scout Inc.'s Steve Muench and Kevin Weidl.
The second-year star threw for 3,973 yards (his second straight year over 3,000) on a 62-percent completion percentage with a 35/7 TD/INT ratio. "The 6-4, 210-pound sophomore throws with excellent balance and has above-average accuracy and touch at all three levels," the duo wrote. "Goff also shows strong poise handling the pocket, and flashes the ability to scan the entire field and work through his progression. He will hold on to the ball for too long at times, and can speed up his internal clock, but overall, he has a very high ceiling and a bright future if he can continue to hone his craft." We love Goff's arm and long-term potential, but want to see him work on his accuracy when pressure forces him off his spot. Dec. 19 - 10:42 pm et

Unless something unexpected happens this coming CFB season, the likes of Cook, Jones, and even possibly Hackenburg could be taken in the top half of the first round. Goff has a lot of qualities that the Bengals coaches love and he could be a target if there is a decision to move on from Dalton.
