Marcus Mariota vs Shane Ray?
- Thread starter Sarge
- Start date
I voted Mariota.
Mariota, by a wide margin. Ray is one dimensional and going to get eaten up against the run in the NFL.
Shane Ray 6'3"/250 is a DE and has never dropped back in coverage as an OLB. We need Fowler, Beasley or even Dupree @ 6 before Ray.
To answer the post question, if we picked Ray over Mariota, the Jets would be crucified by almost everyone. If some team pony-up's a ton of picks, that might change things, but I'd have to go Mariota @ 6 here.
Go Jets...Cyborg

To me it's Mariota by a mile. Marita is a college spread QB that Gaily could mold into his offense. If it takes 2 years to develop a franchise qb, you wait 2 years. Franchise QBS make you a regular playoff team where anything can happen once you get in the tournament. Ray is a debatable fit for our system that may take a year or so to fully integrated in out defense; and in the end, all you get is a clay Mathews type player. A franchise QB is worth more than a beast OLB. Even if his ceiling is Matt Ryan, you get your Matt Ryan. I think if your patient, Gaily can mold Mariota. It's why he wanted to come back to the NFL.
Kevin, check your pm.
I like Ray, he has a chance to be a real impact player off the edge, but there are questions about his size and ability to play OLB in the 3-4, questions he'll probably answer in the affirmative, but its enough to make me lean Mariota.
