7- Scenarios for a Mariota Trade #2 Pick

• " San Diego Chargers
  April 25 update: I've moved the Chargers up to No. 1 on this list. It's very close with both Cleveland and Philadelphia, but I think it's significant that the Vegas odds of the Chargers picking Marcus Mariota went from +1500 to +250 recently. The same thing happened recently with Jim Harbaugh, where the odds of him going to Michigan shifted dramatically because someone had inside information and bet a lot on that prop.
  
  It's possible that Philip Rivers could intrigue the Titans more than two first-round selections. Rivers would be better for the 2015 season - in other words, he would probably allow everyone to keep their jobs - but he turns 34 in December. Then again, there's no certainty that Tennessee will get anything out of the 12th and 19th picks. Rivers would make the Titans a legitimate playoff contender in the weak AFC.
  
  The Chargers have denied that they've engaged in trade talks involving Rivers, but what else are they supposed to say? Their denial is absolute smoke. Rivers has no interest in playing in Los Angeles; he would rather return close to his home in Tennessee. Former teammate LaDainian Tomlinson echoed this, calling Rivers' reluctance to go to Los Angeles "very valid."
  
  It's pretty close between the Browns and Chargers. It's worth noting that Tony Pauline reported Thursday morning that San Diego could use Cleveland in a three-way trade to move up for Mariota.

• 
  Cleveland Browns
  The Browns are currently the favorites to move up for Marcus Mariota. They have plenty of ammunition, which includes the 12th- and 19th-overall selections in the 2015 NFL Draft. Furthermore, Tony Pauline recently posted the following:
  
  "I'm hearing the Cleveland Browns are the front runners and working hardest in the hopes of acquiring Marcus Mariota."
  
  Mike Pettine wouldn't even deny that the team has interest in Mariota. It makes sense; Johnny Manziel was a colossal embarrassment, and Mariota appears to be the polar opposite of last year's first-round pick. Hell will freeze over before Mariota is caught rolling $20s in bathrooms, and that has to delight the Browns, who are "90-percent" done with Manziel, per Chris Mortensen.

• 
  Tennessee Titans
  April 27 update: Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean tweeted that he believes that Marcus Mariota is the favorite to be the second-overall pick to the Titans. He also noted that a trade with the Chargers is possible. Other reporters have said that San Diego has had no discussions about moving Philip Rivers, but that could easily be smoke.
  
  Of course, the Titans could just take Mariota themselves. With everyone's jobs on the line - another poor season will spell the end for many in the front office - Tennessee would be crazy to head into the 2015 season with Zach Mettenberger as its starting quarterback. Mettenberger has the physical skill set, but the mental part of his game isn't there yet. He also has had a major problem staying healthy. The Titans simply can't count on him.
  
  There were reports earlier in the offseason about the Titans having no interest in a quarterback at No. 2 overall, but I've heard otherwise; I've kept Mariota at No. 2 in my 2015 NFL Mock Draft this entire time for a reason. Albert Breer echoed this, reporting Wednesday, "I don't think the Titans are sold on Zach Mettenberger and I think they want to come away with a QB in the draft."
  
  If Tennessee doesn't get a trade offer it likes, the front office will have no reservations about just simply selecting Mariota to be its quarterback of the future. "

 

Yeah I'm thinking its Cleveland or nobody. I don't see the San Diego deal working out but I'm not counting out Philly if a Chip decides to get crazy again last minute prior to the draft.
