We select Mariota and he gets hurt like Vick or RG3 then what? That style of play in the NFL is costly.


Take Mariota out of the Oregon juggernaught machine and what happens? They keep on chugging because they are stocked with talent in a gimmicky system.


Take Bridgwater away from Louivislle and what happens? They tank. Bridgwater IS that team.


I want a cerebral QB that can elevate the whole team like Bridgewater does. Maybe Mariota can do this, maybe he can't, be we know Bridgewater can.


As such I would take Bridgewater over Mariota 1000 out of 1000 times.


I would rather trade down, take Boyd than to take Mariota first overall.
