All of these "questions" Mariota has makes me laugh. IDK if anyone was watching NFL Live earlier, but some bald guy (not sure who it was) was saying things like you aren't going to see NFL stuff on tape such as a slant on a 3rd and 5. One of the first plays against Washington was a slant on 3rd and 5. It's like people assume because he played at Oregon this stuff didn't happen, when if they put the work in, he clearly does this stuff (albeit not a lot, but it's there), including progressions. Too much piggybacking of opinions, man.
 
I would bet the bank on him, man.
 
Really hoping the Titans can get 3 1sts out of someone for him.

You don't have to move up to #2 to take him.

according to Jason La Canfora, FIVE teams are thinking about trading for #2 to get Mariota


Which means you're right.

If a team loves him enough, they will want to ensure they get him, no matter what. Just gotta hope someone does.

Dorsett absolutely destroyed the Miami pro day yesterday.  Killed it in every single drill.  There's a very good chance he doesn't make it to day two.

I was wrong about Duke BTW. I went back and like him much more. Turns out the first 2/3 games I watched of his last time were his worst ones, and that first impression stuck. This time around I like him much better.

What do you think of Yeldon?  It's weird how not a single person is talking about him.  This time last year there was first round buzz for him.

Yeldon's been pretty underated throughout the process.

Yeah I love Yeldon. So many good RBs. Hard to even rank them.

Watching Nick Chubb gives me a chubb.
 
It sucks that he's stuck in college for two more years.

Shit, last year UGA had four backs that, when 100% healthy, could have started at just about any FBS program in the country.

Chubb, Fournette, Derrick Henry, Zeke Elliott, James Conner, Perine, Dalvin Cook, Keith Marshall, Sony Michel, Alex Collins, Jalen Hurd
 
The RB position is coming back strong in the next few years.  Next years crop isn't going to be all that great, but 2017 and beyond is gonna be fun.

Zeke is going to be drafted by the Steelers, and I'm going to be pissed

Buck Allen reminds me of a less decisive James Starks.
 
If he can become a more decisive one cut slasher he could be effective.

It really is lol. I guess you could say he's similar to Arian Foster as well, but he's definitely not that smooth/as good an athlete, IMO.
 
He should be good as part of a 1/2 punch.
