March 23--BOCA RATON, Fla. -- He watched quarterbacks Carson Wentz and Jared Goff at last month's NFL scouting combine and also evaluated their college game performances.
He has acknowledged that his team is seeking an upgrade at quarterback.
But Rams Coach Jeff Fisher on Wednesday provided no clue as to whether the club would try to trade up from the No. 15 pick in the April draft to select one of the prospects.
"They're good players," Fisher deadpanned while meeting with reporters at the annual NFL owners' meeting. "They'll play in the league."
Case Keenum is the Rams' presumptive starter going into off-season workouts. Nick Foles and Sean Mannion also are on the roster.
Wentz, 6-foot-5 and 237 pounds, played at North Dakota State. The 6-4, 214-pound Goff played at California.
"Wentz is obviously very smart," Fisher said. "I don't think he's ever gotten a B in his life.
"He's got the leadership qualities. And from a football standpoint, he's got all the traits -- the arm strength and decision-making ability, and he can make all the throws.
"The same thing with Goff, too. Not every quarterback coming out is going to have that same personality. All their personality types are different. But both of them are perfect for the NFL, get in the huddle and to lead and win games."
The Rams also could resort to free agency for a quarterback.
Robert Griffin III, released by the Washington Redskins, remains on the market. The Redskins selected Griffin in 2012 after making a draft-day trade with the Rams for the No. 2 overall pick.
"I think it's something we have to consider," Fisher said this week in a television interview . "We've looked at the tape. I've always been very impressed with him prior to the draft."
