Official 2015 Draft Discussion

[Marshall/Boogie]

What's with the request for a private workout for Mariotta?

When did this happen??

If this is a smoke screen, TT is pulling out all the stops... and he may not be as mild mannered as appears on the surface. He may be as cut throat as GMs come - just stealthy about it. He may earn a reputation every bit as hardball as AJ, but all quiet like. If he gets us great results, I'm very happy to have him, despite the long waits in FA.

They were talking about this on the radio this morning, trying to figure out why. We are evidently one of 3 teams to ask for private workouts with him and are flying him down on April 15th for it. I really don't see any way he is available at 17 and with all the other holes on the team, could we really afford to draft the QB of our future now? Maybe they are really worried about Rivers back. Or maybe the lack of contract extension means Rivers wants to retire after this year or to try and win a ring somewhere else. Or else TT is really just being extremely thorough in his job.

It's common for QBs to fall in the draft. Ask Brady Quinn and Drew Brees.

Aaron Rodgers.

Do we take Mariota if he falls? I don't trust TT enough to not take him and let Rivers walk.

Wow, these are some pretty crazy scenarios being bantered about! Ok, I'll play the Crazy Friday Scenario Game...

IF Mariota drops and IF TT is serious about him, there is no way he passes on him - AND no way he let's Rivers leave - unless a crazy good trade proposal is offered. And I mean crazy good. Rivers already has trained with Mariota. Has already said he likes him and thinks he's a hard worker. My take: Rivers stays (restructures, whatever) to try another run at the SB - gladly mentors MM before he rides off into the sunset.

How many double initials can we get on this team?! MM, MM, TT... (??), (??)

That would not surprise me with all of Rivers' kids and how he got so beat up this past year.
