Marcus Mariota Open Discussion Thread


N/A

Recommended Posts

Posting old mock drafts ... two of which are from 9 and 12 days ago respectively from NFL.com ... we all know where to find NFL.com mock drafts. It was just a weak attempt to poopoo on the situation because he doesn't really want Mariota.

 

If it was a new story I'd understand. But you can tell, all this Mariota to the Titans stories popping up irks him.

 

It seems like you are more offended that someone still disagrees with your opinion than I.

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.

 

Yep. The only confusion right now would be from the media, not from the team themselves. Whether it's us pushing this narrative to the media or it's just the Media following their own created narrative you never really know.

 

But, if we do take Mariota. Remember the Titans basically told us it was happening months ago and it was the media that ignored it.

The problem is that for joe schmo's like us it's nearly impossible to distinguish between the two and at times even the team officials will lie to you.

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.

 

I'm pretty sure Wyatt and Mike Keith basically know who the pick is going to be, so paying attention to what they say (which takes some reading between the lines) is important more than any other guys save maybe Schefter. Wyatt and Keith are elusive and speak in general terms but they're not going to straight out lie.

 

Sure, what you said probably takes place but Wyatt and Davis aren't lemmings. Maybe some of the guys like Casserly, Baldinger, etc. do that more than the top guys.

Any of you heard of this scenario?

 

The differences in the responses came with how they thought the Titans would select Mariota. Three of the sources believed the Titans would stay at No. 2 and take him there. The other two thought the Titans would trade with Washington, which would take USC's Leonard Williams at No. 2, leaving the Titans to pick Mariota at No. 5—one spot before the quarterback-thirsty Jets.

Oh I definitely agree that it's not inevitable but my gut tells me it's the Titan's preference. 

 

I don't doubt at all that getting a huge haul of draft picks and sticking with Mett + 4 top 50 players is their preference. That doesn't make it the most likely scenario though.

I'm calling it......Chip is gonna make a massive offer to get Mariota. It makes too much sense, I don't think it's a coincidence that he made his power play for GM duties this offseason.

Titans scouts and the front office just started to finalize the board right? I think I remember hearing that a couple days ago they were all in town to finish up. I wonder if some of the most recent news is based out of that. It's possible whoever Wyatt gets info from wasn't in the building until recently, or the Titans simply hadn't made a real decision until recently.

Nah I haven't had issue with Whizenberger, Cenj, 520, or anyone today that thinks the Titans are going to pass.

 

I even gave Whisenberger props for sticking to his guns.

 

I've just noticed you stamping your feet throughout these threads.

This is very likely. They started setting the final board on Monday.

4/20, 4/13 (the only one saying we take Mariota for sure), 4/13 (still LW), 4/22, 4/23, 4/24.

 

Today is the 24th.  We've already had some algebra in the thread...do we need to go over some basic arithmetic?
