    We need to hope Mariota blows up the combine, which he should. That should generate a bit more buzz. After they throw on their pro days, that's when we'll know if the draft will get crazy or not. We need Winston and Mariota to do as great as possible from here on out.

    Or maybe his is a genius ...

    Maybe he DOES want a QB, Winston in particular. BUT he knows that the Bucs might take him, and Webster doesn't want to give up a bunch of picks to the Bucs in order to move up 1 spot so he can grab is QB.

    SO ... Webster is saying that they DON'T want a QB. If he doesn't go after a QB, then teams will assume he is going after one of the other top players that they may want (Williams, Gregory, Cooper, etc). If a team is in love with one of those players, and fears that the Titans might take them at #2, then they may try to jump up to #1 in a block buster trade with the bucs to take their guy.

    That leaves Winston for the Titans .... Genius move webster

    I said this back in December. It is common sense.

    You don't publicly commit to Mett regardless of what you actually think.

    However, I don't think there's really anything wrong with what he said here (unless I missed something while skimming), and I'm sure teams still believe there's a good chance we take Mariota at #2. Winston is going #1. No doubt about it. That is unless he starts stealing more crab legs.

    So if Williams is our guy, we bs teams into thinking we are taking a QB so we can trade back and fall out of Williams range? If Williams is who they want take him at 2...isn't that the benefit of a top spot you get who you want? If Williams isnt who they want then yes a load of picks in return for 2 would be nice

    If we select Mannion before the 5th rnd I will break something!!! He understands the system, but he's just not that good and doesn't have a big arm. He should have been light years ahead of everyone at the SR Bowl and he didn't stand out. That's BAD!!! For me he's a late rnd-UDFA player at this point.

    Williams has a certain value. IF we get MORE value in trading out, you trade out since we are a rebuilding team. So you look to BOOST the trade value any way you can...not KILL the trade market!

    First, he's not smart enough for that and 2nd, only way that works is if the Bucs don't want either QB or get such a huge deal that they'd pass on the QB to rebuild the team. Considering Winston is no lock to be a sure fire starter in the NFL, I'd take the picks so I think it's a bad concept. If Andrew Luck was there, sure, but I'd probably just pay the Bucs to move up the 1 spot!!!
