2015 NFL Draft, Grading AFC South Picks: Marcus Mariota

The Tennessee Titans must really love Marcus Mariota.

At one point early in the 2015 NFL Draft, the Tennessee Titans were fielding impressive offers from both the Chicago Bears and the Philadelphia Eagles for those teams to take their number two overall selection to select Oregon QB Marcus Mariota. Those deals included a franchise quarterback, multiple first round picks and others, and a stud defensive lineman (from what we know in reports). There may have been more, there may have been less. No matter what was happening on the phones, the Titans felt they had their man in Mariota and they pulled the trigger.
