    I don't agree with that

    Mariota has poor pocket presence, Gabbert esque. He still would have graded out higher than Manziel

    Doesn't matter if you don't agree because NFL teams may not care about your opinion.

    Just remember that you are arguing with someone who wants to draft a 3rd WR with the first pick in the draft and move on.

    No way to tell because Marcus and Brett aren't in the draft...

    Actually I want the Texans to trade down BUT if they keep the pick... HELL YEA I want Sammy... The kid is a stud and guaranteed replacement for Dre. He's on par with AJ Green and definitely better than Julio Jones.

    But you want to spend the #1 pick on a guy with 3 sacks. When was the last time a team drafted a pass rusher in the top 3 picks who only had 3 sacks...??? You guys are silly... Lol...

    Are you really still pushing the Watkins #1 stuff?

    He's the best PLAYER/prospect available... He's the ONLY player out of the "elite" prospects with no flaws (or the least amount of flaws) so why not...???

    He is not Calvin Johnson or Randy Moss, this receiving class is deep.

    There is a lot of wr talent to be had

    Moncrief and Matthews in particular

    I wouldnt take Sammy #1 but I agree with you that the kid is a stud. Throw him a 5 yd pass and he can take it to the house not to mention he's very dangerous on special teams.

    Watkins strikes me as a Terry Glenn or Joey Galloway types. Am I wrong?

    you think they'd risk putting a top pick out there on special teams?

    there are a few exceptions, but that's extremely unlikely

    I'd imagine quite a few people feel that way, I wouldn't worry about it, there's next to no chance that happens.

    I'm going to wait and see how the draft pick turns out.

    If the pick is a bust, I'M DONE, and I mean, DONE, with this team!

    Watch Mariota play next year and then tell me he has a better arm than Manziel.

    I'll save you some time...he most definitely does not have a great arm and he's never asked to make any difficult passes. Check his highlights, 90% of the time, his throws are to receivers that have 10 yards of space.

    I used to think he was the best QB in college, then I actually studied him bc my cousin was a student at Oregon and he would tell me Mariota is overrated. After looking at film, I realized what I had been missing. He's good, but nowhere near top level talent, at least not now. Im guessing a year more of college could help a little, but the offense he plays in will limit his ability to improve as a passer.
