QB. Oregon. Marcus Mariota. 6. player. 30. Marcus Mariota’s last pass of his college career may have very well been an interception. It was just the final disappointment in his lackluster national championship game performance which raised more questions than answers. Does Mariota have the anticipation to succeed in the NFL? Can he ever shake his red zone woes? Those questions still need to be answered, but Mariota plays a prime position and will likely remain in the top ten picks. Whether Mariota continues to fall or works his way back to the No. 1 spot throughout the process is something we will have to wait to see, but there is no denying the Jets have a quarterback nightmare on their hands and need to find a way to get back on track. If Mariota is available, New York will have to pull the trigger.
