    All I hear from my armchair coach friends is "DRAFT MARIOTA!! DRAFT MARIOTA!!". While there have been threads on this, the time is coming now that the Titans will end up with the worst, or 2nd worst record in the NFL, and Mettenburger is hurt.

    I personally cannot see putting Mariota behind our tissue paper O-line that could not stop the 40 yrd dash B team of the Special Olympics. I think Webster has to go, along with 3/4 of the defense and 1/2 the offense. But they will not shut up about it. They think Mariota is the answer to all of the tacks problems. They do not go deep like this forum does. Will the Titan's draft Mariota? Should they even think about it?

    It sucks that draft talk is more exciting that actualy season talk, but here we are. :(

    Stop calling us the tacks, tacks can hurt people if they're stepped on.

    Honestly. We should try and trade down for some picks like the Rams got for RGIII. There are a lot of good defensive players in this draft that we could really use. However, if Winston wins the title again this season then I would be completely ok with us taking him.

    Mariota's o-line at Oregon isn't very good. Because he's great at moving in the pocket and is mobile, the line hasn't been exposed for how bad they really are. Now, I'm not for or against drafting him, but if the Titans line isn't fixed (and I actually think that is priority 1 for Ruston & Co.) having that mobility would actually be beneficial to the Titans because he's somewhat used to playing behind a bad line anyway.

    I'm sure the Titans would love that but to trade down you have to have someone willing to trade up. Who is worth that in this year's draft? I haven't heard about any big time prospect except maybe one of the QBs.

    But this will all change closer to draft time. We'll see.

    I wouldn't draft Mariota.. I'd actually draft Winston before Mariota IMO (better passer).

    Trade down or Gregory will be our best option.

    I can't wait watch to that Mariota vs Winston rose bowl though.
