The big question in the draft this year is who is going to give the Titans how many picks to get Mariota? And how will that fire sale kill that team and help the Titans? Last I heard there were like 8 teams bidding, which bodes very well for the Titans, and pretty much guarantees Mariota will be a “bust” because he will have no talent around him.
Last year, I wanted the Browns to stay where they were and pick Sammy Watkins at #4, and either Teddy Bridgewater or Jimmy Garappolo at #26. They would have been so much better off then where they are today.
I think GM Ray Farmer is a classic case of the peter principle, a guy promoted beyond his capability. Justin Gilbert and Johnny Manziel were complete disasters in their rookie seasons. Maybe Gilbert can recover, but I have my doubts about Manziel. Even if he gets his head on straight, I just don't think he has the physical skills to be successful at the pro level. I think Gilbert at least has the physical ability if he can mature and concentrate on the game.
