Quote:Yeah, this is pretty much my new-found opinion of Mariota. Extremely raw, but off-the-charts potential.


But I no longer want him as a back-up option in a situation where Teddy is off the board. If we somehow did not garner that number one overall slot, I would pass on him with the second, or third pick for a guy like Barr or Clowney.


Actually, if we don't land Teddy I'd hope we can find a trade down partner -- which is obviously easier said than done -- but I think there may be a team out there that wold be willing to trade up for Clowney, Barr, or Matthews. We'll see how it plays out though.


I'm pretty much all in for Bridgewater and would be pretty disappointed if we don't land him. But I know Caldwell has a plan B and plan C up his sleeve, so I'm not worried. But I'd be stunned if he drafts Mariota or Hundley. Stunned.
