Bud who cares if Mariota goes? We don't need him. We have Carr. The NFL needs to get back to developing players.
Carr not making it to the playoffs his rookie season doesn't mean he is a terrible QB. It means they need to use draft pics on WRs and develop them together. Not burn yet another pick.
I care where he goes, he's from my alma mater, he's my boy,
he's the best person on the board at the time, regardless of position...
Raiders they've passed on so many great players, because of a specific need that it's
bit them in the A$$,
IMHFO with the 1st overall pick
you should take the "best player period",
you have to pay for it,
they might as well get the best player
or just trade it away if they aren't what you need, for multiple picks...
I've seen them bypass on Arron Rogers, Calvin Johnson & Andrew Johnson
& a multitude of other great NFL players, because of some so-called needs,
I don't want to see the best player go to waste...
It's trade value if nothing else...
Just my thoughts,
I know it's not realistic & have said as much,
Carr is our guy now, he's not be my favorite, but he's who we have,
if they plan on keeping him/developing him,
then he needs players to compliment his abilities & protect him also...
But I also agree we need a good
"set of receivers" to compliment Carr,
I've said similar things in other posts
I'd also like to see them Draft
Amari Copper too,
but they will probably go lineman off/def,
waste another great chance, at another great player...
The last good "1st pick they made"
was another fellow Heisman Trophy Winner,
Charles Woodson some 15-16 years ago,
allot of bad or wasted picks in the 1st round since...
just my $0.02 cents
GO DUCKS
congrats to
Marcus MariOto Heisman Trophy winner 2014
couldn't have gone to a better guy
