    This makes sense if there was only 1 team interested, but to be in the best position possible to get him, they would have to trade with us and beating out the other teams.

    This means squat.

    Let's assume the Bucs go Winston (which I don't know is anywhere close to certain) but for the sake of argument... whoever wants Mariotta has to trade up with the Titans to keep us from taking him. Same for Williams.

    Going up to #3 vs. #2 isn't really that much different in terms of what another team would need to move up.

    I don't think this forces us to do anything. At 2, whatever team trying to trade is guaranteed Winston or Mariotta. At 3, there is a possibility of both being gone.

    If the Browns and Eagles were smart now, they would not trade with us before our pick.

    This puts them in the position of power now. They make it hard for us to initially get a trade knowing they can deal with the jags for cheaper if we don't take him.

    It forces us to take him if we want a trade. No team will deal with us unless we take him now.

    If we have no intentions in trading it doesn't. If we want to trade it puts us in a bad spot. Teams can play chicken with us. Ruston is a puss and will lose.

    Can't let other teams dictate what you want to do with your picks.

    We just need to move along as if we are hellbent on taking a QB at #2.
