When the process is all said and done, Mariota could be gone by pick #3. QB's always move ahead of everything else, he could be the "RGIII" to Bridgewater's "Luck" when this all wraps up. The guy that flies up the draft board, all the way to #2, with the main guy all along staying at #1.
It's possible someone loves MM more and takes him #1, but that would be the......"risky" pick, because if Teddy balls out, and you passed on him, you lose your job and never work again.
If you take Teddy and he fails, well everyone woulda took Teddy, etc etc and you get a second chance.
At this point, I think they will both be fine, provided they are drafted by the right orgs. I worry about Jax, but I hear they are getting the right people in positions to make better decisions, so maybe they have some hope.
I see Cleveland and Mettenberger linked a lot. They won't go with a versatile type QB, but the traditional pocket guy with a big arm. We'll see, but I keep hearing them together every day. Not sure if that's just someone blowin smoke, or maybe the MO of their new GM or what.
