1. Marcus Mariota, QB, Oregon

I am not a fan of Marcus Mariota. Cool, he’s a great athlete. So was Darron Thomas, Dennis Dixon, and Jeremiah Masoli, what did any of them accomplish at the NFL level? Mariota is system quarterback and is vastly overrated.

From the potential leader of the franchise I want to see a quarterback who can lead a huddle and a group of men. Mariota’s body language is lame. Watch one of his press conferences. He looks like he lacks any confidence to talk.

So, being that I think he’s a system quarterback- only taking 5 snaps under center the entire 2014 season and throwing to wide open receivers most of the time- and lacks any sort of leadership presence I think Marcus Mariota is the biggest potential bust in this 2015 NFL Draft class.
