As much as I'm enjoying the mental image of Chip wearing a barrel, I suspect that Philly already has a deal in place with Tenn. Bradford, pick #20, and a second round pick for pick #2.

Now if MM were to fall out of top 10 maybe they package Bradford and picks but I doubt it.

A deal would not necessarily include a second round pick. Players or other picks could be exchanged.

You are probably right...but we need a starting QB and a handshake deal can be broken, so I hope.

But all hope is not lost. If you are right, IMO Chip will draft the middling Mariota and still wear a barrel when MM can't break the 8-8 barrier.

I don't buy the Mariota hype, an air-raid, spread, zone-read QB doesn't seem like what Jay is looking for at all.

I would buy Garrett Grayson in the 3rd round or Sean Mannion in the 4th round or Shane Carden in the 6th round or Jamiel Showers in the 7th-UDFA

I'll say this about Mariota, I really like how humble the kid is. It's really refreshing to see a young kid that doesn't do any social media and really seems well grounded and private. I was watching him on Gruden's QB camp last night, he's just all business and doesn't crave the limelight at all. Not sure if he'll be a great player or not, but just really nice to see that from a young kid who got serious credentials.

^Yeah, but that was also Griffin's reputation 3 years ago.

I concur.

Dan McKlurken is now saying that Rivers is going to Tennessee in a trade and San Diego will be drafting Mariota.

It was not Griffin at all. Griffin loved the limelight from the start. There was nothing wrong with it. Just nice to see a guy like MM who just doesn't care for it.

Pretty ballsy if SD lets Rivers walk.

I think we draft Garrett Grayson (3rd round), Sean Mannion (4th round) or Shane Carden/Connor Halladay (6-7th) or a sleeper project UDFA Jamiel Showers.

Grayson is not a top 100 player in the country, he has no business going that high.

Was this really the case? Maybe i missed it. I seem to remember all of the pre-draft hype about RG3 - it was evident that he was a good guy, a NICE guy - but even then showed flashes of the diva mentality, was big into social media - alot of concerns, but then, like now, we were so desperate to win at any cost, we hoped that winning would somehow make all of that other stuff not matter...

Yeah, Griff was a clean prospect on and off the field. Was regarded as an all- around good guy.

not really a big deal because it can be retracted if he doesnt perform this year
