    Anyone know how many teams have visited with Mariota already this year? I saw that the Rams were going out to Oregon to meet with him, and that just got me thinking, It seems like a lot of teams are showing interest in Mariota.

    How many visits do top Qbs typically make before the draft? Maybe its just because the Titans usually aren't in this position so I am not paying as close attention, but it seems like he has been doing a lot of visits even to teams that probably don't have a shot at drafting him (unless they trade up)

    Is it more than what is typically done, or about the same ... how many visits did Bortles or TB do last year? Or how about guys like RG3 and Luck?

    Just wondering it the NFL teams are showing more/less/ or equal interest, and how that might give some insight on a potential trade partner.

    I think you will find that Mariota is getting so much interest because of the total uncertainty about where he will be drafted. Mariota could be in for a draft day fall.

    Titans stick with Mett
    Jets stick with Fitz and Geno
    Rams stick with Foles
    Bears ride with Cutler
    Browns see if McCown can tutor Manziel

    Then next thing you know he has fallen to the Chargers and then they have to decide do we draft our future QB and let him sit behind Rivers for a year.

    Nobody thought Rodgers would fall like he did. It would be interesting to know who all gave Rodgers a private workout and whether any teams passed on him because they had not totally done their due diligence.

    Pretty sure Mariota has visited (or scheduled to visit) with TB, TEN, STL, NYJ, & SD. I believe Washington and the Browns are still trying to schedule?

    Everything i'm seeing is that Cleveland is done with Manziel and really want to move up for Mariota. Not sure if this is just a BS pre-draft rumor, but it's all over the place. Lets hope it's true, because if they want him... they'll have to move up to #2 to grab him. #12, #19, #37, and 2016 1st for #2 and 4th.

    He's met with Chicago, Tennessee, Tampa, St Louis (in Florida), NY Jets (in Oregon). I also believe he's met with San Diego either yesterday or is today... And I think his meeting with Washington fell through due to a scheduling conflict..

    What worries me is that we take Williams at 2 and the Jags get a nice trade offer for Mariota...trade is best but if Williams is who we really want then so what if trades happen I guess??

    Someone brought up the idea of drafting him and trading after but that may not be the best way to go about it...for Mariota as well...I guess it will get discussed before hand?

    Bridgewater met with Cleveland, Minnesota, New England, and I think Houston...

    Bortles met with Houston, Jacksonville, and Cleveland, not sure on Cleveland but it makes sense that he did..

    Cleveland and the NY Jets would IMO be blowing up our phone if we took Mariota at 2. I think thats a best thing we can do, and Ive been debating that idea for months..

    I agree....if you can't talk a team into giving up the farm to move up to #2 then go ahead and take Mariota at #2 and then trade him later. Hell even if we only got the Jets 2nd rnder I'd be happy to have #6 and #37. To me having #6, #33, and #37 is better than having LW and #33.
