Shilo Sanders Draft Stock Takes Hit After Struggles Versus K-State
Known for his hard-hitting style, Shilo Sanders has been criticized for...
A lot talks and debates are going around the NFL News, with several players already declaring their entries for the 2015 NFL Draft. With the shake-up of both professional NFL players, Marcus Mariota and Jameis Winston, a month ago, the upcoming NFL Draft for 2015 has finally revealed its top prospect player who will be soon be absorbed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as their consensual pick.
Although, previously, Todd McShay of ESPN, has pointed Mariota as the top pick during his mock draft in December for the upcoming NFL battle for this year, rumors have been confirmed that it will be Winston instead for this coming season.
This has not been the paths for the two professional players; just recently, Jameis Winston has dramatically fallen down on his feet as he was suspended for one game as punishment for an uncontrolled scenario when he shouted out obscenity on campus. Almost everything did not go in favor of Marcus Mariota, on the other hand, as scouts were disappointed about his performance during college football championship game.
After grabbing his attention with his recent actions, Winston is apparently making some changes about his off-field concerns, which is evidently acknowledged by the scouts through his budding chance to play as the number 1 pick for the NFL 2015 Draft.
Mel Kiper Jr. of ESPN, Daniel Jeremiah of NFL.com, Charlie Campbell of WaterFootball.com and Peter Schrager of FoxSports.com have, all together, realized Winston’s promising performance in the field if his personal issues as well as battles were to be set aside.
Kiper even said that Winston is the most advanced on-field quarterback in the draft but until he realizes this fact and try to deal with his off-field matters, he may, somehow blow the opportunity to convince the teams that he can actually be the franchise leader.
Furthermore, Winston’s as well as Mariota’s performance were even paralleled citing that the former is a better prospect if given the chance to prove himself. Daniel Jeremiah of NFL.com stressed out further that having ideal size, arm, touch and strength, Winston is, undoubtedly, ready to play on Day 1 of the most-awaited NFL Season this year.
However, looking into Mariota’s place, experts felt that he has gone so far down as he may be the second pick for the Tennessee Titans or he may fall at no. 6 for the New York Jets. This is a brighter side for other interested teams such as the Philadelphia Eagles and Chip Kelly’s, former head coach of Mariota as they will be having a great chance to take the pick for his professional play in the field of football.
This is relatively a much easier as well as achievable move for Mariota as he can definitely wing for No. 4 or 5 as compared to swaying for the No. 1 pick.
As the NFL 2015 Draft nearly approaches, experts, fans, sports enthusiasts as well as the NFL teams are keeping their strands on the news for Jameis Winston and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as well as with Mariota’s fate with his play in the field. With this interesting news, it is understandable how people are craving for updates every now and then.
