    Not a coincidence that Webster says only 16 1st rnders when the 3 top teams mentioned as trade partners sit at 17, 19, and 20.

    I personally didn't get much out of this press conference. Just a lot of the usual stuff you hear from every team. A couple of guys trying not to slip up and give a hint of which direction they are going.

    BTW, they never said Winston or Mariota were franchise QBs! What was said is if you think a franchise QB is sitting there and you're picking, you take them over anyone else. Also, that they liked both Winston and Mariota.

    Not like they were going to say, hell no you can pass on a QB and draft a OT if that's what you want to do. Or they were going to publicly say they didn't like one or the other QB. Just usual generic talk.

    I don't understand what you guys are thinking....what do you mean 50/50? No player is 50/50. You grade the players and stack the board. There will be some players with same or close grades by those will be stacked by different tie breakers and positional importance.

    So there is no possibility the Titans are 50/50 on Mariota. He's either a top 5 player and graded that way or he's not. If he's not, they may be trying to sell a trade back but ultimately if no good or close trades come in, they will take the highest player on their board at a position of need (unless one guy is much higher than the others) if there is no 'franchise' qb.

    So IF they like Mariota, they will take him unless someone offers a blockbuster trade.

    One OTHER way to look at Webster's comment about it not mattering what TB does could mean we are NOT taking a QB and don't like either guy as a top player OR they think SO HIGHLY of Mett that they DONT go QB because they dont need one (in their eyes).

    So let's say we looked at Mariota and Winston, you will never be able to draft one of them as neither is getting out of round 1.

    Just to clarify, what are your issues with both QB's?

    The draft board is what determines who we take. Webster has determined a trade deal off of points he'll find acceptable. All these statements offer NO indications of our board. The hard decision making has already been done. Exceptions are when issues surface to change a grade (eg- Shane Ray).

    I'm looking forward to this draft. My interest and confidence in the team Webster has managed is near zero. I hope that changes.
