BTW- Johnny Manziel is quickly becoming the Justin Beiber of the NFL.
Listening to sports talk on the way back from the Rose Bowl and they were all saying Winston over Mariotta.

Not only did Jones avoid the Manziel disaster, he drafted Notre Dame OG Zack Martin, who is clearly the best offensive lineman from 2014, and might be named Rookie of the Year.
Zack Martin would have dropped to my team, the Dolphins, at #19.
When Martin went off the Board, I actually wanted Miami to throw the dice on Manziel.
Our starting QB is Ryan Tannehill. Tannehill has NFL skills and arm strength, but he's too inconsistent to get us to the playoffs.
Maybe because the NFL is so destructive on running QB’s?
I've watched Winston play about 6 games over the last 2 years. Based on the 2014 season, I don't think Winston has First Round QB skills, and no telling how much damage the character issues might do to his Draft status.
I've only seen Mariotta play one game, the FSU blowout.
Do Radio callers think Mariotta goes in the First Round?
Jamies Winston is a Jamarcus Russell starter kit.
I have a soft spot for Ryan he played for our high school here in West TX. This little town has produced allot of pro players.
Oh yeah, the experts were picking them 1 and 2. Mariotta has one of the most accurate arms I have seen outside of Luck.

That dude had issues...
Kyle Shanahan is 6 feet tall and Manz is wearing cleats.
I read that somewhere else, too.
Lol...
So is this one:
The Boy is just not "right"...
Another Cleveland NFL draft fail.
Almost 100% since 1999, with most of the selections in the top 10 slots.
I post on Cleveland.com that they should just pick names out of a hat. Random probability will beat consistenly bad management, I believe.
You’re right...I forgot about the exposure stuff
I was just remembering the pot and talk of he and Joey Heatherton going to orgies in Dallas and LaLaLand
Definitely true in the early years of the New Browns BUT it has gotten much better these last few years.
Joe Thomas in 2007 was a stellar pick at number 3. He has been in the league 7 years and voted into the Pro Bowl every year. Only 11 players have done that. Some of those players; Barry Sanders, Lawrence Taylor, Joe Green, Dick Butkus
Alex Mack in 2009 was another awesome pick at number 21 (if you don't believe me notice as soon as he went down the Brown's Season was essentially over this year) Mack was voted into the Pro Bowl in 2013 (2014 Pro Bowl)
Joe Haden yet another really good pick in 2010 at number 7 He has also voted into the Pro Bowl and is one of the premier defensive backs in the league.
Phil Taylor A good Solid pick in 2011 at 21, He played only 5 games this year due to injury same in 2012 but when he plays the browns Run defense is mega better!
Trent Richardson in 2012 was a good pick at number 3 but we traded him to the Colts. He rushed for 950 Yrs. his rookie season and scored 11 TDs then got hurt in the 2nd game in 2013. We traded him the next year.
2013 Barkevious Mingo has so far been a so so pick But word is he is coming on this last season. His rookie year he only started 3 games but this year he started 11 and was injured in week 16 so he didn't play the last game.
2014 was Justin Gilbert at number 8 and was considered to be one of the top defensive backs of the draft. he had a slow start and missed some games due to injury and illness then he was put in when Williams got injured and intercepted a ball for a picksix against the Colts. Then came the infamous Johnny Football party that got Manziel fined, Gordon suspended and Gilbert inactive for the final game. Then word got out his teammates say he is basically lazy and doesn't prepare for a game like a pro. He claims he has seen the light so we will see but I have my doubts.
Damn that is funny and it really hits home...
But, in his last six games this year, he showed dramatic improvement.
Tannehill’s rookie contract option must be picked up by the Dolphins this year, in March, I think, or else he will become a free agent at the end of the 2015 season.
It's not cheap, like $8 million a year, guaranteed for two years.
I thought the Dolphins would let him walk away, but then he had his end-of-season transformation.
He's playing like a Top 12 quarterback at the moment, so we probably have no choice but to pay him.
But, those of us who follow the Dolphins closely are still concerned about his long term consistency.
I hadn't realized Winston was ranked that high.
And I thought Mariotta was more of a runner than a passer.
I don't really pay close attention to college football until the NFL Draft season starts.
