Oregon. Marcus Mariota. 1. player. 48. Tampa Bay is looking for answers at the quarterback position after an awful season by Josh McCown. The question that will be asked with this pick is which quarterback do they take? Will the pick be Mariota or Winston? I believe that the pick will ultimately be Mariota. I think Mariota will end up being a more stable professional, and it does not hurt that he does not have the off the field issues that Jameis does. The Oregon product possesses solid but not great accuracy with good mechanics and has mobility in the pocket. That accuracy can be cleaned up with some work at the next level. His Athleticism reminds me a lot of Seahawks QB Russell Wilson with his ability to extend plays outside of the pocket. He also has enough mobility to get out of the pocket and pick up the first down when needed.. QB
