Ok, talk was the wrong word. Possibility is what I meant. It's possible. Very,very unlikely, but possible.

Peyton Manning? Darrelle Revis? I think Texans fans are sipping just a little too much kool-aid. Who do we think we are? The Patriots?
http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/mock-drafts/bucky-brooks/215607 Mock draft 1.0 Bucky Brooks: ... Pick 16 (Texans): Devante Parker (WR, Louisville) ... Pick 18 (Chiefs): Marcus Mariota (QB, Oregon) ...
A lot of draft "experts" will put weird **** out because they don't want their first and last mocks looking exactly the same. They have to change so people have something to talk about. They have to have weird picks so people have something to talk about. They also shift people around all the time so that if a player drops or rises, they can claim they called it. So if Mariota drops that far, Brooks can them claim he called it way back in January. Never mind that he'll have him at #2 in his final mock. They don't really care about getting this early mocks correct though, only their final ones. Or he's just an idiot.
I'd look at another OL in the 3rd. In the 4th, I'd go for RB instead of WR. I don't trust BabyDaddy to stay healthy and this offense goes nowhere without a dominant running game given the current situation at the QB position (lots of bodies wearing QB jerseys but no real QB).
Idk, I feel like Blue could build off of the positive moments he had in 2014 and Grimes was solid in certain situations. Drafting another R-back early to throw in the mix when admittedly we got a Guy like Blue with a consolidated 6th is kinda confusing to me. Guys like Taliaferro, Herron, and Oliver have all been available late-draft to undrafted. WR on the other hand is a glaring need. We need as much talent as possible. Andre isn't getting younger and we have no solid depth outside of Hopkins. I hope we can emulate the success of Jacksonville's WR corps. Lee, Hurns, and Robison were all rookies and have plenty of potential even with a below-average QB at the helm.
Yeah all the really stupid Texans fans would go nuts and probably show up at his house for not picking the player they want him to pick. Anyway, it's best not to get worked up about those people and we can hope they won't breed.
Actually, he'd show he's quite intelligent by passing on Mariota. The dude is purely a product of the Oregon system. He'll get lit up in a regular nfl offense. Whoever he goes to will need to transform their offensive style to try to get Mariota to be an average nfl qb.
Well just so long as Mariota doesn't run into any defenses as good as Florida State, he should be fine in the NFL. I mean sure Florida State gave up over 300 passing yards to great QB's like Will Gardner and Jacoby Brissett but that's understandable right?
