According to ESPN's Mel Kiper, Jared Goff is the best QB prospect available in the 2016 NFL Draft. Kiper released his early 2016 "Big Board" on Tuesday and Goff was ranked as the No. 9 overall prospect and No. 1 QB. 

Here is what Mel Kiper had to say about Goff:

"The system at Cal is going to produce numbers, but Goff's 35 touchdown passes against seven interceptions are good anywhere. The big sell here is a big-time arm. Goff can drill the ball down the field and into tight windows with ease, and he has strong movement skills and anticipation for a player with good length who seems to see the whole field. Goff's totals are going to be significant, so the question of whether the skills translate quickly will be the key question."

Goff will likely be competing with players like Michigan State's Connor Cook, Penn State's Christian Hackenberg and Ohio State' Cardale Jones for the honor of being the first QB taken in the 2016 NFL Draft.
