Mariotta is the top QB coming out this year IMO. (Tho I would like to swap Hundley and Winston"s teams just to see how they look with different talent around them).
But it's apples and oranges with him and Bradford. Totally different QB's.
What's not known about Mariotta is how well he can read defenses and go through progressions in a NFL type system. He's already better than Kaperdick and might end up better than Wilson as far as making plays.
I would take him if he's there and we needed a QB. But I would also go in 100% on working the offense around him. Schotty might have to go. So may a couple players.
But he's not as good as Bradford. I don't know if he will ever be better than Bradford even if Bradfords leg holds him back. He will never have the accuracy or the touch. Training camp battle would be over in a week.
I've watched QB's for over 40 years, there is no Luck in this draft nor even a Bradford. I don't see any of this draft class coming in and being a stud QB game one starter lead the team to the playoffs ot close to it in the first year.
