Russel Wilson also had a higher QBR than Luck did coming out and was still a 3rd rounder. Golson would have to pull an insane season to have a chance of even getting drafted. It's easy to forget how many quality players (especially QBs) don't get drafted.
I know we're making the same point, but the problem with this comparison is that you're taking only the players' potential when healthy into account. An NFL team can only afford to carry one proven QB at a time, they simply cost too much. Drop-back passers don't take the beating and suffer the injuries that running QBs do. The read-option craze was ended not because people figured out how to defend it, but because NFL DC's knew they could force teams to stop using it simply by hitting the qb as hard as possible every single time they ran the read option. It's economics, not football. To be a good investment, you have to stay healthy, and to stay healthy, you have to be able to pass from the pocket at a high level.
The NFL doesn't have much of a market for guys with Golson's skillset, because he's not a proven pocket passer. Regardless of their other abilities, the NFL's valuation of QB's begins and pretty much ends with their pocket passing potential.
Again, we're agreeing on where Golson would go, sorry to bust your balls.
