Yeah, he'd go real high, if not first. Long throwing motion but he does a lot of good things, he's such a talented player but you can't overlook the shit that's gone down over the last year. Still worth the risk, I'd rather go out gambling on a prospect like Winston than on the Gabberts Ponders and Manuel's of the world. Off field stuff is crazy though,

It was easy to say then as well. Just do an eyeball test. The only good news is if this was still the BCS a they would have been one of the 2 top teams

Look at Florida States lack of putting away way worse teams this year. ACC is garbage too.

Other than beating a broken Ole Miss team, who had TCU beaten?
FOles will be included in the trade.
You guys need so much more. Wait for your QB until next draft.
From 20 into top 5? Probably take this year's and next year's 2nd round pick plus the #20 pick of coursecourse.

Should make it 8 teams in the playoffs.
Leaving out a #9 or #10 won't be as much of an impact as leaving out a #5 team who could actually challenge for the title.

Don't like Winston at all but people blaming him for this shit show is bizarre. His teammates were the ones who shit the bed.
Who's blaming him?
I say 12, for much the same reasoning.

Baylor? Really?

Even with the issues I don't think the Titans pass him up. That regime won't survive another season there without a signal caller.
Sammie watkins was two 1st round picks, If you want mariota you'll need to get TB's pick and that'll be a near-RG3 load

Yup Baylor over fs
To get from 20 to 2, I think the Eagles would have to give up their 2015 1st, 2015 2nd, and 2016 1st.

Yea something along those lines. I'd like the traditional 1v8, 2v7, etc bracket though. Because of the huge gap in the strength of different schedules and conferences.

Yeah from a pure football perspective he's probably one of the best pro prospects since Luck (he's a tier below Luck but who besides Russell Wilson isn't?). You hope the off field stuff is just him being a kid and not something more chronic ala Manziel and that with mentorship he cleans it up and just focuses on football.
Teams are so insanely desperate for QBs that like you said guys Gabbert, Ponder, Manuel, Geno Smith etc are all first rounders, you have to imagine a guy with better tools and talent than all of them combined is a first rounder.
Second time.
CEO of Nike already paid Mariota a lot of money. Dude legit bought a relevant college program.

Dear baby Tebow, please don't let Alabama win the next game.
I don't need an SEC vs. Oregon national championship again
Don't worry, we won't

The Titans need to take Winston. It's a shock that Ruston Webster and Ken Whisenhunt kept their jobs, so they're on borrowed time. Drafting a QB like Winston could buy them time to develop him. If they draft a pass rusher like Randy Gregory and roll with Mettenberger, they're just asking to be fired.
Considering how much talent thr Eagles have on offense and how much they are limited with the likes of Foles and Sanchez, I'd be willing to trade 2 first round picks to move up.
Tampa can enjoy the #20 this year and #32 next draft.
Obviously best case scenario is that Winston goes first and Mariota is passed by a team questioning his transition into the pros. Not all the top 10 teams need QBs. Eagles hopefully don't have to move up to 1 but maybe somewhere around 5-10.

I do get serious Wussy vibes from how the media talks about Mariota though.
I can't wait for the fluff pieces about how he spends his spare time saving cats from trees and reading to little kids and shit

MANTI TE'O's girlfriend with her first career sack!!
At least Winston stayed to shake hands, which was cool. Can't believe half the team bailed.
