Lee Noire Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Christmas came late this year as the Bucs get the first pick of the draft, Titans will pick second.When I started this thread, I'd bet a king's ransom that the Raiders would pick ahead of the Bucs. What a difference a month makes. If I'm Marcus Mariota, I'm yanking pages from the John Elway/Bo Jackson Draft Playbook as we speak, telling the Buccaneers, Titans, Raiders and Jets "If you draft me, I won't play there."I don't think he has that in him. He is far to appreciative of his opportunities to tell a team to kick rocks. Imagine that, I'm low key getting on a guy for being a good dude. Jeez.

TheRicSlick Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share Posted December 29, 2014 In regards to Mariota staying in college, anyone remember Matt Barkley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mania Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Mariota would be a total waste of 1-1. If I'm a fan of the worst teams in the draft, I'm hoping they go anywhere besides a weak QB class.

FiddySicks Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 If I'm Marcus Mariota, I stay to finish my degree.

BigEd76 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I'm interested to see what Tennessee is thinking. Do they go Winston at #2 or pass on him for defensive help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinM6 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Alright, the top two picks are between Mariota and Winston. Top 5 though? I say the Raiders get Amari Cooper. He'd be a great asset to Carr and would really improve that team. They have potential, not playoff potential, but potential to go over or reach .500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worcat Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 What do you guys think of the Tennessee Titans possibly trading the second overall pick? After all they drafted Zach Mettenberger last year and should at least give him one or two more years before moving on. Hear me out on this idea: Titans trade 2014 2nd Overall Pick to the New York Jets for their 2014 6th Overall Pick, also two future first-round picks and a second-round pick. This is the exact trade the St. Louis Rams (2) and Washington Redskins (6) made in the 2012 draft so Washington could select Robert Griffin III. This trade could benefit both franchises for the immediate and long term. Titans could use those extra picks to upgrade a lot of positions on their roster and the Jets can select a new franchise quarterback - Winston or Mariota - Whoever Tampa Bay doesn't pick. Now that the New York Jets have fired John Idzik and Rex Ryan, I have a feeling that Geno Smith's days as the face of the franchise are numbered and the new GM will be looking to go in a new direction. As well as Michael Vick will more than likely be out of the league after his contract is expired. With that being said, I believe the Titans could still make a transaction to acquire a veteran quarterback to help mentor Mettenberger. The best case scenario would be for the Titans to acquire Jay Cutler from the Chicago Bears. Cutler was benched week 16 and if Chicago could find someone to take his salary off their hands, I'm sure this could be a done deal considering Chicago could move their team in a new direction, Cutler could continue to be a starting quarterback and he attended college at Vanderbilt. If I were the Titans, I would send over a few mid-level draft picks and absorb a portion of his salary. This would also allow Mettenberger to backup and learn from Cutler until his contract expires.

If I'm Marcus Mariota, I'm yanking pages from the John Elway/Bo Jackson Draft Playbook as we speak, telling the Buccaneers, Titans, Raiders and Jets "If you draft me, I won't play there." My gut reaction was to say that these things are cyclical and we have seen some fast turnarounds in the NFL. But the Raiders and Jets are absolute train wrecks and I would not want to play there either. If I am Mariota, I am hoping to end up on the Titans but could live with the Bucs.Actually, given this year's QB class, I think a Mariotta (or Winston) would be better off being a mid-late round pick and having lower expectations. A Teddy Bridgewater situation as opposed to Johnny Football.

worcat Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I don't understand all the hate for either the Raiders or the Bucs considering both were in the Superbowl in 2003. Even if the Raiders were picking in the top 3, they wouldn't be selecting a QB since they drafted Carr last season. They are slowly trying to turn their franchise around after Davis died, and not knowing if they will even be in Oakland in the future is really slowing the progress of the improvement.I'd rather play for Tampa Bay than Tennessee to be honest. The Falcons are turning into an even larger train wreck and starters are constantly injured, Drew Brees will be entering his twilight years in the next few seasons and Cam Newton is an injury away from being as broken as Tony Romo. Tampa Bay won't be good in 2-3 seasons but when they are, look where the mentioned teams in their divisions will be at - more than likely in rebuilding phases.

He should fit right in at Tampa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
