Marcus Mariota Watch

[MDS]

they are going to try to get him....they have to

they know they need a franchise qb and they know its not lil picky foles

[ice grillin you]

theres a difference between knowing you need one and trading 8 draft picks for a guy who probably has a 50/50 chance at best to be one

[MDS]

its not like they do anything with the draft picks anyway

marcus smith josh huff zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Geowhizzer]

They're more likely to try to deal for some retread like RGKnee rather than give up the better part of 2-3 drafts.

[MDS]

its well past the point of being highly unlikely, but its something to consider

again, they just saw what rodgers did to them. chip loves belichik and jeffy would buy the patriots if he could. they want to be THAT. to be that, they'd need a brady. they believe they have their coach. just need that qb.

[ice grillin you]

if they were picking 7th or 8th is would be highly unlikely but def "something to consider"

the fact that they will probably be in the 20's makes it a beyond ludicrous thing to consider

[MDS]

what is shady worth

[BigEd76]

but his main drawback is that he ran read option in high school and at Oregon, so he's never really run a traditional under-center offense

chips ideal offense is a read option offense so that would actually be a positive...in fact thats the main reason you go after mariota

I meant meant drawback for the teams picking in the top 10-15, not ours.  The other thing is that most of those teams already have a QB they're building around

Current draft order as of now:
01 = Oakland = Carr
02 = Jacksonville = Bortles
03 = Tampa Bay = Glennon (although I could see them going for Winston)
04 = Tennessee = Mettenberger? Or do they go Mariota here?
05 = N.Y. Jets = Geno (for now)
06 = Washington = RG3 or Cousins...who knows
07 = N.Y. Giants = They'll still have Eli for a few more years and need help elsewhere
08 = Carolina = Cam
09 = Minnesota = Teddy B
10 = New Orleans = Brees
11 = Chicago = Cutler
12 = St. Louis = Potentially a spot for Mariota if they give up on Bradford and aren't 100% set on Davis
13 = Houston = Another potential spot unless they really like Mallett
14 = Cleveland (from BUF) = Football (or do they stick with Hoyer and trade Johnny?)
15 = Cleveland = see above
16 = Baltimore = Flacco
17 = Miami = Tannehill
18 = San Diego = Rivers
19 = San Francisco = Kaep
20 = Seattle = Wilson
21 = Atlanta* = Ryan
22 = Indianapolis* = Luck
23 = Pittsburgh* = Ben
24 = Cincinnati* = ginger
25 = Dallas* = Romo
26 = EAGLES*

Do I think Mariota falls all the way to #26?  Hell no, but I don't think there's going to be a huge demand to trade up for him

what is shady worth

you seen him play this year?

good young rb's are devalued in todays nfl....good older backs have zero value (zero value in terms of moving up in the first round)

but his main drawback is that he ran read option in high school and at Oregon, so he's never really run a traditional under-center offense

ah gotcha

tough to make a definitive statement on any propect before they go thru the offseason but i see little to no chance mariota doesnt go top 5...

also on your list of teams you are being very kind to the eagles in describing some of their qb situations...geno is basically finished or certainly not an impediment to taking a qb....ginats would easily take one....and st louis and houston are 100% looking for a franchise qb

[MDS]

jacksonville needs an RB...they would definitely welcome shady. in my dream scenario, they have the 1 and take him. then add in like the 1's and 2's from like the next 3 years.

who says no?

[ice grillin you]

they would welcome shady for a like a 5th round pick

and you are insane to give up number ones and twos until 2018....MM has decent bust potential

[MDS]

i just want a great qb, for once

once

[ice grillin you]

no one does more than me....but you gotta be realistic

[SD]

Just throwing this out there

Does Atlanta stick with Matt Ryan? I know he's not the prototypical mobile type we all envision but he's almost 30 and Atlanta can't be happy with what they have this season. He'd do well in a QB friendly offense like the Eagles.

[Eagles_Legendz]

Shady is worth basically nothing at this point.  Large contract, mileage, and he's a running back.  You're getting zero of substance for him.
