Eagles fans react on Twitter to Titans drafting Marcus Mariota
By Jack Crosby
The Tennessee Titans chose Marcus Mariota with the No. 2 overall pick on Thursday night, which made some Eagles fans a bit upset
Throughout the entire day on Thursday as we awaited the beginning of the 2015 NFL Draft, the speculation was rampant that the Philadelphia Eagles might make a serious move to get up to the No. 2 spot to take Oregon QB Marcus Mariota. There were some reported deals that were downright insane.
Well, in the end, as we would come to find out, the Tennessee Titans did not want to entertain any deals for that pick, and they ended up just taking Mariota.
Well, as you would expect, Eagles fans were not happy, as most had really gotten their hopes up throughout the day.
Would have loved to seen mariota go to the Eagles

No Mariota but getting rid of Cox would have been horrible. He's the type of player you hope your picks become. #NFLDraft2015 #Eagles

If that reported Eagles offer is real, that was pretty ambitious (or dumb) of the Titans to turn it down and take Mariota.

Indeed they were, but when it came down to it, the Titans were just too nice to let them.
