    I hate that we had the same record as TB and got screwed out of the #1 pick. If you ask anyone who pays any attention to the NFL which team was worse last year, almost all of them would tell you the Titans. Strength of schedule, which is the determining factor in determining tie breakers for draft position, is a stupid thing to use to determine it, because it's something the teams don't have any control over. Why not base it off of point differential or something like that (which I'm sure we were worse at, even though I didn't check the numbers to make sure) that really better illustrates how bad/good of a team you are.

    That said, it seems like TB could roll with either QB. Us, not so much. I wonder what it would take to just trade up the 1 spot with them? They would still get a QB they could work with and we could too. I wonder if we could even stay in place and just offer them like a 4th round pick to just not pick Jameis. I dunno, just thinking out loud.

    FWIW Leonard Williams is a Florida kid. Maybe Tampa likes the safe home grown Defensive stud....

    That's kind of what I was thinking JCB. I asked in a different thread if there was any chance that TB would not take a signal caller. I think there is.

    I mean thing is, with Williams you KNOW you're getting a guy you can rely on and build around for 10 years. With Winston you're taking a gamble. Solid chance he messes up and becomes VY all over again. He's better than VY but still that chance he embarrasses your franchise Making the pick look like a mistake

    Sure would be nice to dangle two QBs for trade bait rather than one or the other:cool:

    I think there is a 95% chance TB takes a QB. They could take Winston or Mariota as their coaching staff (smartly) is prepared to run either system! I think the ONLY way TB doesn't take a QB is if they trade down but that would be hard to imagine as they'd have to go to 3 and KNOW the team moving up was going for a non-QB ala LW. They would also have to be cool with getting either QB or figure Mariota is the one to fall past the Titans.

    I do think it's 50/50 which QB they take. If given the choice, I'd guess it's 90/10 we'd take Winston if we had the choice but we are unlikely to get that choice unless TB likes Mariota better. Even then, 50/50 we don't take Winston even in a non-trade scenario.

    I agree... We were clearly worse than Tampa, as sad as that may be.

    Net points should be the tiebreaker.

    Those d*cks knew exactly what they were doing week 17. Full on tank. I'm afraid we literally just suck that bad.

    Should've lost to the Jags. I was already in tank mode and wanted Scobee to make that kick. We would've become the second team in NFL history to start 1-0 and finish 1-15.

    I also think they tipped their hand in cutting McCowan.

    That's a great point. Dang it, they're going QB.

    Our only hope now is that Mariota impresses them so much that they have no choice but to take him. Wasn't he working out with one of their coaches or something, or am I thinking of someone else? I feel like he has ties to them somehow.
