Since We are Drafting Mariotta, Who are the 2nd and 3nd WR we should Target?

I was all prepared to get Cooper, or White and maybe even Fowler or Dupree but all the projections seem to have MM falling to us at 6, unless someone trades up to get him.  Assuming he is there and we draft him, what wrs do you project to be available when we pick in the 2nd and 3rd rounds?  

 

I am afraid there will a run on receivers in the first round and we could see 5 or 6 taken before we pick again.  

Cooper

White

Parker

Strong

D. Smith

DGB

 

Who in the next tier receivers would you be interested in?  Either as a 2nd or 3rd round pick...

Just following my little spreadsheet I have the following WR valued in the 1st 32 picks:

 

Cooper

Parker

White

Strong

Funchess

Green-Beckham

 

2nd round area

 

Coates

Montgomery

Agholor

 

3rd round area

 

Greene

Harper

Lockett

Hardy

Goodley

 

(I have no updated this since the combine so things might get changed up)

Funchess really hurt his stock with a poor combine.  He only ran 4.7 and did poorly on several other drills.   Combine that with a lackluster second half of the season and he could drop to the 3rd round or even further.  You left out Devin Smith and Philip Dorsett.  They may both be available when we pick in round two although Smith could go a little higher.  I also think Breshard Perriman should be included for 2nd or 3rd round. 

I am intrigued by Chris Conley and where his is projected to go.

Those guys will show up when I update my sheet I'm sure, those average player rankings are a bit old.

Huge Canes fan here, I've watched Dorsett play his whole college career. He is going to be a very good receiver on the next level. Great hands and blazing game speed, excellent route runner who can really stretch the field. He would be a steal in the third round.

If we go with White or Cooper in round 1, how about Byron Jones in round 2? If we do D in the first, I'll gladly settle for a WR like Perriman or Dorsett.

The whole point of the thread is we are taking Mariota if he is there at 6.

Cane fan here agrees. Dorset is the real deal. Can fly past anyone but he knows how to run routes.

I can't see him being there, but whatever, I'd take the best WR (Dorsett or Perriman) or CB (Jones or Collins) that's available. A pass rusher would be nice but it seems like a ton of them will go in round 1, leaving little to choose from of value in the second.

True but he is smaller than mini me :-).  Just kidding, I know the Jets spoke with him at the Senior Bowl, so he is someone who is definitely on their radar.

Mariota will probably be gone by the time we draft. If we take him. I am going to save every anti-Marcus post I can find.

I don't get the dislike for the guy on this board either. Will he have to sit a year? sure who cares, The jets are not going to the SB next year anyway.  But the jets are going to be around .500 and out of the range for future top 10 qbs without a trade up, similar to the rumors with the Eagles and the Jets, 2#1s, a starter, and another draft pick. 

 

Because DC ruined RGIII is not a reason to pass up Marriota who has all the good traits of RGIII and none of the ego baggage.  I think St Louis is the team that makes a play for him.  They go against Seattle and SF 4 times a year and can see the stresses  a qb like him can place on a defense. Brockers, and the The 10th pick and Oakland would move back.

I think that is a viable scenario, with one twist. If Leonard Williams is somehow there at #4 for Oakland, all bets are off.

Nobody hates Mariota. The opposite is actually true jets fans were blowing the guy wanted to tank for him.

And then 60 million people watched the college FB playoffs and saw he couldn't complete a pass anytime he wasn't making a one-read play.

This is not true and doesn't give the proper credit to the Ohio State Football team. What the Oregon Football team found out was that the Buckeyes were just as athletic and even more physical that they were. The Buckeyes were also deeper at key positions with players who had experience.  Consequently, Marriota was as protected as he was accustomed to being. His 1st read was taken away and his ability to scramble was taken away by an excellent coaching job .

 

Arrogance is a terrible thing for a football team, and the Ducks felt that their offense could score against any defense. They was no adjustments, because they felt none was needed.

Whatever man I saw enough mariota in college he struggled anytime he had to make more than one read. According to scouts a third of his completions and yards come from passes to the Rb in the flats or tag passes but every time I saw him it looked like 100% of his positive passing plays were of the check down variety.

Guy is a great athlete. I think he's Kaepernick but not as good a passer and kaepernick hasn't been good either last couple years.

I didn't say it wasn't their offense. I said what he was coached to do was taken away from him and he had nothing else left to go too. When what you are coached to do is taken away and no adjustments are made or available, what happened in the championship game was inevitable.
