Also, if true, the Skins will likely be picking their best choices for line backers.

Mariota and Winston are 1 and 2. Several mock drafts now have Winston at 1. The good news is that he'll never make it to danny boy and the REDSKINS!
2. Both Chris Mortensen and Jim Wyatt have reported that Tennessee is set to go "all in" with Zach Mettenberger next season. While that's definitely accurate right now, things may change once the Titans' front office gets to know either Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota. Plus, that report may have come from the coaching staff, which is more than likely to back its current player.
If he does not go to TN then it's Oakland for sure....

You really think Oakland would do that with what they think they found with Carr? I see Oakland going for a receiver myself.

I don't think so.
Tampa needs a QB desperately. One of those two goes there.
Mettenberger is a good QB, and TN has other needs. They address something else in this draft (OL?). Oakland, for once, has a QB. They need offensive weapons. Cooper makes a lot of sense. Jacksonville has a QB. They need OL and DL help. If Tampa goes Mariotta, Jameis could quite easily be on the board at #5 for Snyder to consider.
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

I think the Jets and Bears are the most likely to draft him.

The Jets are a complete cluster. They need an entire offense.
The Bears will need a QB, but they need a coach first.

I agree with this but that pick depends on what they plan on doing with Griffin, and I have no idea what is going on there with him, Gruden, and Snyder.

That's alright, they (RGKnee, Gruden, and Snyder) don't know what's going on with them either.

Winston has a lot of growing up to do before I'd want him on my roster

Have to see how Mariota plays tonight. Both are NFL prototypes for QB, imo. Teams have to decide if Winston's bowl game was an anomaly and whether or not his off-field antics are simply a matter of one's need to mature.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Skins put Cousins up for trade and worked out a higher draft pick. I'm sure other teams are considering those type options, as well.
Past history, coupled with Manziel, have folks thinking these things through a bit more thoroughly, I think.
Either way, Mariota and Winston are imminent multi-millionaires.

Dangit...I was going for all-in hopes of keeping this away from Snyder. Thank goodness for the new GM. Sure hope he keeps his sobriety.

Winston has a lot of growing up to do before I'd want him on my roster I agree. Although, I was shocked to hear that he's a rather bright kid majoring in Engineering with a 3.4 GPA. Really shocked. If you look at what's left for QB's in the playoffs, there's a whole lot of smarts to go with the ability.

I suspect the 3.4 comes from a lot of electives and not much of substance. He withdrew from classes last week after he declared for the draft. 3.4 off of 3 short semesters isn't much of a track record.
