    This is just a roller coaster, I am now starting to go off the idea of drafting Leonard Williams at 2. I just don't know what to think anymore.

    Does Amari Cooper help us win more games than Leonard Williams??

    If we don't think MARIOTA is good enough, and we don't get enough compensation for a trade this might be the question. I like White too, but Amari Cooper is soo complete.

    I think if the wr is projected to be a possible top 5 NFL wr this day and age you take him at 2 without worrying about it. Are Cooper or white possible of being that? If so...take him at two give mett Grayson/petty or whoever is qb this or next year a fighting chance. Jags could blindside everyone and take cooper to help bortles..same with Oakland and Carr..Washington and rg3...

    If they want one of those guys they better take him...
    Strong/Beckham would be nice at 19 if Cleveland trade goes through.

    I have finally reached by decision. For the fourth time.

    Sign Barksdale and wisnuaki.

    In draft...

    Try to trade back. Cleveland or new York is ideal.

    If you get two firsts and Cleveland second, I want...

    Either cooper, white, Perryman, or dgb.

    Either Gurley or Gordon.

    Bpa with two second round picks.

    Draft garrett grayson late to compete with cbj.

    If forced to pick at two, I take Amari Cooper. White, Perryman, and dgb all have greater athletic upside.

    But I'm a Titans fan. I know that upside never pans out for us. Give me the polished route runner now in cooper rather than someone I gotta coach up.

    I just don't think Williams is that special. Far less than a sure thing.

    Mariota... Intriguing prospect, and I'll be pumped if we take him... But high risk. And I think mett has promise.

    Going into the new season, we have mett and grayson competing at QB.

    We have Sankey in a timeshare with Gurley or Gordon.

    We have a revamped, deep oline.

    We have Amari Cooper with Douglas, Hunter, Wright, and walker as weapons.

    We have a front seven that has added key pass rush peices in fa and draft.

    New number two corner.

    I'd be looking for a forth or fifth round safety to compete with Griffin.

    Not a bad off season. If a few things break right, we could compete for the division with that roster.

    The number one thing that makes me cool with picking Mariota is that everyone says they are "blown away" by his football smarts.

    I think the kid is Jakes locker with a hair weaker, but more accurate, arm, but more between the ears. And so far no signs of injury propensity.

    Hard worker. Good leader. Makes all the throws.

    Oh, and incidentally... He can run a 4.5 if need be.

    All this about whiz not wanting to work with him... I think the opposite.

    I think whiz, like all coaches, is an egomaniac.

    It must eat at him to know that people think he got lucky with warner, and can't develop a QB on his own.

    I could see him loving taking a guy like Mariota, a hard working film rat with great football smarts, and making him a star QB.

    And I think it's possible he will.

    As I've stated, my preference is trade back, get picks, take Cooper.

    But honestly, if we pick mariota at 2, and dgb or Gurley at 33, I'm psyched as hell about this season.

    It's been awhile since I thought that.

    Thanks.
    On obvious passing plays teams tend to use the shotgun. This is nothing new.
