    Bottom line is we have no idea what they're really thinking and neither does the media. They could have been absolutely in love with Mariota since day 1 or they could've known there's no way they are drafting him since day 1.

    It did occur to me though that "Titans comfortable selecting Mariota" doesn't really give off an air of confidence. But this is just the way Peter King phrased it and he's kind of a moron.

    I think at this point, they have to either roll the dice with Mariota or trade back. One of the two. I could care less what the media says, I am basing this on simple facts. If they truly want to contend with Indy, they need a franchise QB. Houston has proven that "Stud" defensive players won't get you over the hump unless you have an Offense to match it. (Clowney, Watt, etc). Jags...Bortles sucks, so we can instantly surpass them for years possibly. At #2, you don't play it "safe"...you go with a franchise changer...A game breaker.. May NEVER see that spot again. If they are sold on Mett, you trade back, get extra picks, and still have the ability to get your #1 receiver which is needed regardless desperately. It's a win win from that standpoint, not to mention, you sure up the most important position on your team with 2 capable starters instead of CBJ and Jordan Palmer.

    That's not surprising though as all these guys pretty much piggyback off of each others stories. You think all these guys reporting have direct intel from inside the Titans FO? No way. And it's likely that none of them do.

    ya...and most of em are likely just assuming we want mariota since we have a top 2 pick and "no" "surefire" starter. plus it always seems like the closer the draft gets the higher qbs are mocked and assumed to go high. i cant wait for thursday tho

    We aren't even 100% certain that Tampa isn't going to take him. Lets not get ahead of ourselves here. He may very well not even be on the board.

    A scenario that could happen is the Titans draft Mariotta at #2, and wait to see if a team that has made a good trade offer has a certain player available to pick that the Titans are targeting. In other words, they'll make a deal if the cards fall the right way.
