Mythos27 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 kinda convenient that they all seemed to come around at the same time...almost like a mass email was sent declaring love for mariota... mariota will not be a titan. book it. To be fair a lot of pro-Mett news were dropped at one time last week just around the same time (weekend). Either way there is some serious media manipulation at hand. I just don't know which purpose it serves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamlngEnvy Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 why wouldnt they ask for a kings ransom? how dumb would it be to say "eh well take whatever you offer." i bet they accept a trade with way less "value" than what most people think it "deserves."

tgo Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Charles Davis had Mariota going 10th just a week ago. Yeah, and he said he talked to "some people with the Titans" and changed his tune. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
big2033 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 What's messing with me is Charles Davis switching from Williams to Mariota. It could be as simple as Whiz told him he really likes Mariota that much or Whiz asking Davis to help him hype up the Titans' interest to get a better trade deal. Occam's razor says Whiz just likes him that much but again, it doesn't feel all the way right. Daniel Jeremiah and Davis are very close and while Jeremiah has Mariota going at #2 he's not sold that it'll be the Titans drafting him. Too many moving parts. The first one makes sense, I don't think Whiz would ask Davis to outright hype up Mariota for their benefit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos27 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 I don't think the pick has been "shopped" nearly as hard as some of these low-level draft insiders or second rate reporters have made it sound. The guys who have been pushing that narrative are guys like Pauline and Jason Cole. Then you've got Shefter, Breer, Rapoport, Kiper all saying that while the team has made it clear that the pick is for sale, it's only for sale for a true King's Ransom. Yes, it's clear that the pick is for sale for the right price. But it's not a situation where the pick gets traded to the highest bidder. Even the higher ups like Daniel Jeremiah are strongly suggesting that a trade might take place and I think Bucky Brooks still has us taking Williams. DJ is pretty plugged in and spends tons of time with Charles Davis who has Whiz's ear. If it was that set in stone I would suspect that DJ would follow suit with Davis' opinion.

JDot Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 True, Charles Davis and Whisenhunt are friends and there's an open line of communication there. Really, Charles and Whiz are friends? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earlers Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Yeah, and he said he talked to "some people with the Titans" and changed his tune. Do you think some of these guys just join the pack so they won't look so far off when they compare picks after the draft? Seriously, some of these guys are just lying. When they cite their sources...they're really saying I read an article from another guy with sources. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh it could certainly take place, especially since there is a potential franchise QB in play at 2. I just don't think a trade is inevitable. In March, a lot of NFL personnel execs were saying that a trade was more likely than not. But things change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos27 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 The first one makes sense, I don't think Whiz would ask Davis to outright hype up Mariota for their benefit. I agree that the first is the most likely but you yourself have championed the idea that teams use the media to push whatever narrative they want out there. I don't this is all that far fetched.

tgo Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Really, Charles and Whiz are friends? That's the word on the street. Charles has mentioned it in the past and he always calls him "coach" and "ken" on air. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishTitansFan Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 I think at this point its this: The Titans have a decent comfort level with Mett, but they have fallen in love with Mariota. If they get a great trade offer they entertain it, keeping in mind they have a serviceable QB already, but unless it's an absolutely huge deal, they are taking Mariota Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
