If Mariota drops to Pick 10 Then?

[Elmgrovegnome]

This. I'd take Mariota unless Philly is willing to offer something like:
#20
Foles
2nd(or 3rd)
2016 1st

I agree with this because Mariota hasn't proven anything and QBs bust all of the time. He has some good traits but he isn't regarded as an Andrew Luck type of talent. In the Kelly offense he usually is a one read QB and he likes to run. That is two things that won't work with the Rams or any Pro style offense.

Foles has his limitations but like west Coast said, Foles has proven in the past to be able to get the job done.

So I would gamble that the Eagles 2016 first round pick could be pretty high because teams seem to have made up some ground against their offense and it will only get worse for Chip Kelly next year.

 

[WestCoastRam]

Yeah, people thought Foles was all kind of exposed this year - and he was, to a degree - but his oline was hurt and that killed their running game which was dominate the year before. That took away a lot of play-action stuff and single coverage this year making his job a ton harder, he was getting hit left and right with that now crappy oline and his fundamentals totally broke down in terms of feet, etc (Kelly even said so).

He'd actually be great competition for Sam. Fully healthy, I think Sams the better QB but not by a ton. He's definitely a guy who can win a game or two for you during the year as long as you have the running game doing the majority of the work.

 

[WestCoastRam]

That being said, I'd hate to pick Mariota at 1 or 2 but he's really tempting at 10 because: 1) There's a 50% shot that he could sit behind a successful Bradford and 2) Fisher might play him the 1st year if he has to but Fisher has the stones to wait on a rookie and seems to err towards not starting them right away.

It sounds to me like Mariota's got the work ethic to be good, he's just gonna need a lot of seasoning. I pity the team that takes him early and plays him right from the start, I feel like that could ruin him.

If he makes it past 9 other teams and / or no other team trades up for him I'm passing. There has to be a flaw that causes him to drop.

Thank god we didn't use this logic with Aaron Donald

They have always said that nobody likes a very short stubby smaller thing that goes off quick.......thank goodness someone saw the great value in such things if its put in the right position @ the right time.

 

[Thordaddy]

I'd trade up for him

Teddy Bridgewater's fall last year (which was ridiculous)

B-b-but... skinny knees...

 

[jrry32]

It depends on why he drops, but if it's a case similar to that of Teddy Bridgewater's fall last year (which was ridiculous), I take him and say thank you very much.

Just more proof that teams make some pretty dumb decisions.

Still can't believe they dropped the kid because he had a bad Pro Day, was thin, and didn't have a cannon for an arm. The film was so obvious. There are only two QBs I've evaluated since I started that I think were more impressive on film.(Luck and Bradford)

Sometimes, teams are just baffling.

And don't even get me started on Lovie starting McCown over Glennon...

 

[NJRamsFan]

I'd trade up for him

Agreed 100% im praying we do

 

[WestCoastRam]

Can anyone see Mariota getting past the Jets if some combo of the Bucs and Titans don't take him?

The Titans aren't taking a QB at #2. I'd put money down on it...that's how confident I am.

 

[WestCoastRam]

You may be right... but then, does any QB slide part the Jets...

ESPN's Adam Schefter says there's a "real sense" Tampa Bay has its sights set on Oregon QB Marcus Mariota at No. 1 overall.

Schefter concedes that "many NFL executives and scouts believe Florida State's Jameis Winston is the best pro quarterback prospect in this draft." But perhaps the Bucs and new OC Dirk Koetter see things differently, placing more stock in Mariota's mobility and clean off-field resume. More likely, there's just a lot of speculation out there right now with the draft still three months away. We're skeptical the Bucs have come close to making up their mind yet.

 

[FrantikRam]

I don't wait if I'm Fisher/Snead. This team has talent all over the place, and with the right FA pickups (particularly on the offensive line), I think we should trade whatever it takes to get Winston - and then watch this team finally take off.

 

[Yamahopper]

Thank god we didn't use this logic with Aaron Donald

It's not the same logic.
Donald is a stud. and will be a great player for years. But there were other really good DT's in the draft that could have been taken later on

Mariota falling to the Rams, getting passed over by teams drafting ahead of the Rams that need a QB much more than the Rams and other teams not trading up for him or calling the Rams looking for a trade isn't maybe a good sign.

He's the last legit QB option in this draft. He's it. No more. Hundley may be a coin flip but after that it's just wishful thinking.
So unlike Donald there's no more very good ones to take later.

So yeah, wouldn't you question why he's still on the board.

BTW some scouts had Donald as BPA in the draft.

Nope....

 

[Boffo97]

The difference though is that no one was talking about Rodgers not deserving the #1 overall pick. San Fran needed a QB, then no one else really needed a 1st round QB until the Packers got a value pick on Favre's successor.

 

[jrry32]

Nope. That's the point of having your own scouting department.

I'd trust my evaluation of him.

Other teams can be stupid.

Yeah, its a good thing the Rams didnt waste a pick on Rodgers, going with that "sure thing" in Alex Barron.... Ugh....
