Mariota played without a playbook in Oregon. At this point, he will be a project but he has the arm. If he is smart enough to grow into a pro style offense, which would take some time, I would go with him over Winston. My issue with Winston is his throwing motion, he takes forever to wind it up, like Byron Leftwich. I doubt u have that much time in the NFL with the ways windows close quickly. That might lead to a lot of picks!

Mariota has plenty of physical talent, but who knows if he can run an NFL offense. He's boom or bust. Sound familiar?

I hope they pick Winston. Yeah, he has the tools and should be able to run an NFL offense, but this guy is a ticking time bomb off the field. His off field issues are constant. Well, that and he was an absolute turnover machine in college last year. If he starts as a rookie for a terrible team, he may set the NFL single season turnover record.

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
