Kiper deserves thumbs down because IMO he's an IDIOT! McShay deserves half a Thumb cause he's just Stupid! DW4 goes top 12 at the very least. Probably top 6 in reality!

Didn't an NFL scout actually say that DW4 reminded him of a more accurate Mariota a year or two ago?

Bozo the Clown is smarter than Todd McShay, but Todd McShay is funnier than Bozo the Clown.

Where would Mariota go in this draft if a team could take...

him? I would definitely think to 5 at worst. He might even go 1st.

Did Mariota win a big game or something?

Kiper is going to learn the hard way...

4 has left a trail of doubters in his wake and it seems that the latest crop didn't learn the lesson yet.

I really, really liked Marcus Mariota. There's no question he was faster than Watson while being a similar sort of athlete, but he ran sub-4.5 while Watson ran 4.7.
That said, does anyone think we would have won one national title and almost gotten another with Mariota? Because I actually thought the opposite - Mariota was very, very good with his feet, but he needed a little work passing the ball, especially the deep ball. Watson struggled AT TIMES (especially early in 2016 for whatever reason) with the deep ball, but Mariota always struggled with his deep ball and I didn't think he was quite as good at reading defenses and consistently hitting the intermediate stuff as Deshaun was. And Mariota was a cool guy but nobody in recent memory has had the Ice-Water-In-Veins-In-Big-Moments thing going quite to the degree Deshaun has. When you absolutely, positively had to have it, he got it. Almost always.
Mariota struck me as an A-or-A-minus prospect; Deshaun, I thought, is just a hair ahead of that and I just do not see a lot of the "issues" McShay and Kiper consistently harp upon. He's a hair better than Mariota...and heads and shoulders above Mitch Trubisky or Deshone Kizer.
