Hopefully he drops considerably to the Eagles
The Eagles would be the best place he could go and honestly they'd be the best chance at success for him.

This is why I'm just blown away by all of the Mariota #1 overall hype. I get that he has all of the height, arm strength, and mobility you could want, but you're taking a huge leap of faith if you expect him to develop into the kind of passer that can make NFL throws.
I would rank him below Bridgewater from last year, and he went at the back of the 1st. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Mariota falls in the draft
But Bridgewater played in a pro style Offense and has better pocket presence. Teddy Ballgame totally ran that Offense, while Mariota is just a piece. He's a big piece, but he's still just a piece.
Teddy never should have dropped as far as he did and if the draft was redone, there's zero chance he makes it out of the top 10. Which he never should of made it out of anyways, but people were scared off by his average-slightly above average arm strength and his ability to maintain weight consistently.
