Marriota Might Change His Mind

[RamCub]

There is a rumor going around that Marcus Marriota might change his mind. We will all officially know by January 15 - the deadline for underclassmen to declare for the NFL. If he comes out - it strengthens the Rams' draft position immeasurably!

So I'm rooting for Oregon to beat Texas by 50pts? Sounds fine by me

Does it improve their leverage? That will likely push a QB down in the first round. It would take a team specifically wanting Marriota (or Bridgewater, if Marriota overtakes him) to improve their leverage.

 

[RamCub]

It improves our leverage to have more desirable QB's available if the Redskins win and we move down from the #2 draft spot.

First off Oregon will drill Texas in the bowl game.

2nd, if Marriota does come out and the Rams have a top 2 pick, they will have a very interesting decision to make.

Marriota must be smart enough to realize he could possibly be the #1 pick in this years draft, because next year he will be behind Jameis Winston.

fixed it for ya

I might be inclined to take MM with the No. 2 pick this year rather than trade away!

 

[SJ76]

Yes vita I agree. Red, who would before MM in next years draft?

a red shirt freshman that comes out of no where. hasn't that been the case these last 3 years?

 

[SJ76]

Who and what are you talking about Red? I'm confused.

Jameis Winston would go #1 overall this year but cannot leave until next year. So if Marriota stays, he's still not going to be #1 next year.. Unless injury of course

umm....not sure



EITHER WAY

i doubt Winston will go number next year just a gut feeling something is going happen to him. and i guess i just don't like Oregon

 

[SJ76]

I have a weird feeling Marriota will change his mind. And if we have the number 2 pick, do you take Bridgewater or MM?

 

[Retroram52]

According to Brian Billick, Fisher has informed him that Bradford is the Rams QB and they are not entertaining even taking a QB with the number 2 pick if that occurs. If all of this is true, we will either take Matthews at 2, trade down and take Wadkins, Kouandijo, and/or Barr but no QB according to Brian Billick.

 

[27mtrcougar]

I would be shocked if the Rams take a QB period. Any round. Bradford is their guy. and we have a solid backup in Clemens. I think they will continue to put talent around Bradford. I don't know why Fisher would come out and say it though you might want another team that needs a QB to think you might take a QB.

 

[Retroram52]

Yea Cougar. A lot of this could be postering by Fisher who is renown for not giving away his hand this early or at all before any draft.
