Im just not really high on Mariota. i think he can/will be a good quarterback. But I dont see an Andrew Luck type impact from him.
As far as Jones goes, teams wont be able to pass up on physical ability. He is just oozing talent. What you mentioned can be corrected with more practice/game time and coaching. Kids do/say/tweet stupids things, whether he grows up is the question. Somebody will draft him, not sure where.
I agree with the physical ability aspect. I prefer the Eagles to use a mid-round pick on a guy like him over a guy like Matt Barkley that lacks most of the physical attributes you look for in a QB. The immaturity scares me a bit.
We will see. If he can't buy playing time at OSU next year it kind of makes sense for him to announce for the draft. I don't think his stock can be any higher than today, specially if he has to join another program.
