    If we draft MARIOTA I will be pissed.

    But but but but but, according to the Mett cult Mett was actually really good his senior season. Even his college OC thinks Mett was great and that he will make a great NFL QB.

    Even if we draft Mariota its not like Mett can't be our QB. Have two young QBs and just hope one of them is our franchise QB for the next +10 years doesn't sound that bad. It sucks that we would "waste" a pick but once we get the QB situation settled we can finally start building this team.

    Course if they both suck then we're fked.

    To be honest I don't care if we take Mariota. I like the kid. Drafting a QB is always a gamble but you don't go anywhere without one so you need to be willing to gamble. I've been very wrong on QB's I thought would be great as has every person/scout/gm/head coach/etc...you have to keep trying though so I completely understand if we take Mariota.

    My preference however is to trade down with Cleveland and get two first rounders this year and then some. Get a WR and a defender and then look at Petty round 2. He's the only other QB that is draft able to me outside the consensus 1 and 2. Would be a lower risk gamble then the #2 plus we get added ammunition in this draft and future ones. Plus I actually like Petty and he seems like a good fit and insurance policy to Mett.

    Personally I'd gamble with Mett...draft some playmakers around him and if it doesn't work out then QB next year whether its a draft pick or Rivers in FA will have weapons in place.

    I wish this was true being a Mett supporter but if they draft Mariota it means Mett is done in TN. Hate it but once Mariota is drafted that high they will devote all resources to him being starter.

    This should be the plan. A reasonable one too.

    One other thing. After watching Locker throw passes at the dirt and get hurt over and over it was liberating seeing a QB like Mett who could actually read defenses and throw passes all over the field and connect with the intended target. Mett is a gunslinger all he needs is a good decent line to protect him,along with some weapons on offense and a defense that doesn't give up thirty a game. The guy showed promise give him a shot.

    I think this is because of the speed of the game. He will adjust.
