Chances some team tries to trade up for Winston, and the Bucs do the trade? 

Zero

Not a chance in hell, but the whole time I've been praying they take mariota.

I knew he would be a franchise QB the first time I saw him play. passes the eye test for sure. maybe he had a bad season last year, but let's be for real...his head was in the NFL, not in college.

Marietta looks like a Kaepernick clone.

if Tampa doesn't deaft Jameis, they are stupid.

every NFCS team will have a franchise QB after this draft. what other division can say that?

Here's a 1:30 min video of Trent Dilfer's final interview with Winston after the 2011 Elite 11 camp where Dilfer basically tells Winston he's a genius, a mental prodigy, etc:

Colin Cowherd just said Jameis Winston has the same

football IQ as Andrew Luck.

I have no doubt the guy has got smarts... But how exactly do you quantify what's in a guy's head to this extent from a 15 minute conversation with a chalkboard

By comparing him to other guys answers to the same questions from past years.

Some people thought Ryan Leaf was better than Manning too....

Winston may have some football smarts....he doesn't have a lot of good ones of the field. Kinda like Leaf

it doesn't even seem like anyone cares about his off the field decisions. a kid being a dumb kid but it has nothing to do about his on the field play. he's fearless as they come and was born to be a franchise QB. and ..it's obvious. the kid has got the goods. he has roethlesbergers elusiveness/toughness, leadership traits off the charts, has zero memory when it comes to moving on past bad throws and Ints and is a proven winner.

Winston to Evans makes me sick. Throw in VJ for another year or two and Sefarian-Jenkins that offense can turn around very quickly.

I don't think anyone ever questioned the dudes intelligence.  It's pretty clear that he is a very smart young man.  His decision making though has to catch up with his ability if he ever wants to be anything more than an average quarterback.

Jameis Winston's natural accuracy is rare. Unique trait.

Makes it look so easy!
