I'll take Cleveland again this year.

If they wouldve listened to me last year, they wouldve been in the damn playoffs

 
Unless a bigger expert like cheese or knowledge dropper wants 'em, I guess I'll take my Bengals. But will defer to them or other quality Bengals posters if they wanna do it.

Note to other GMs, to keep this as realistic as possible the Bengals will not be moving their pick either up or down - since the Ki-Jana carter trade 20 years ago, the Bengals have used their own first round pick in 17 of the 19 drafts. The team philosophy is to let the draft come to them. (The two times they moved they traded down).

Since I got pooped from the Bucs spot like the ball from Doug Baldwin's butt, I'll take Carolina instead.
I'd like to think that the last thing that went through his head, other than that bullet, was to wonder how the hell Andy Dufresne ever got the best of him.

 
If nobody wants them, I'll double up with the Lions again.

but really, if someone else wants them, have at it.

 
I'll take the Jags and Vikings.

FUBAR, you can have the Lions too.

The Jags' pick is for sale (cough, cough, Cleveland).

Ya, might as well start if you take the Giants

Worst case scenario we get to pick 14 while we wait.

 
I'll take Green Bay, I'm not available to make picks from 1pm -9pm Sun-Thurs atm. I understand if that's not acceptable.

 
With the first pick in the 2015 NFL draft, The Tampa Bay Buccaneers select:

Marcus Mariota, QB, Oregon Ducks

Tampa Bay has been playing musical chairs at the quarterback position since their Super Bowl victory in 2002. The QB’s who have started for the Bucs since Brad Johnson are as follows:

Brian Griese, Chris Simms, Bruce Gradkowski, Tim Rattay, Jeff Garcia, Luke McCown, Josh Freeman, Josh Johnson, Byron Leftwich, Mike Glennon, and Josh McCown.

With this list in mind there is no doubt that they will be selecting a QB with the first pick. They can’t justify drafting another position or trading the pick.

Tony Dungy has endorsed Mariota as the next Aaron Rodgers. Dirk Koetter was quickly hired as the offensive coordinator and will install a “four verticals” passing offense in Tampa Bay. This is the exact same type of passing offense currently installed at Oregon. Mark Helfrich, Oregon's head coach, worked side by side with Koetter for 9 seasons. Mark Bajakian, known for his work with spread and run/pass hybrid QB’s, was hired as the QB coach. For these reasons, it does seem like Tampa has made the appropriate acquisitions on the coaching staff to make Mariota as comfortable as possible and will be making the Oregon star the #1 pick overall in 2015.

Mariota’s strengths and weaknesses have been well documented and he will continue to be picked apart throughout the draft process, but I see him as the best option at the position with both the highest ceiling and highest floor.

 
the preference here would be to trade down. There are a few players the Titans will consider at this pick. Don't get upset about name-dropping here as it's not like these are secrets.

The obvious, Winston, comes with character concerns though he fits a need at the most essential position. The next three, Gregory, Peat, and Williams, also fit needs (the Titans have a lot) and IMO are all better picks for the team than Winston. Peat is tempting, gives the Titans bookend tackles (thankfully they waived Oher) for the next 5-10 years and they need to protect whomever they put behind center. Gregory is a monster and I expect him to become a pro-bowl player for whatever team takes him.

But the Titans will take Leonard Williams, DT/DE USC. Versatile across the line, high floor, high ceiling, probably the safest pick in the draft to be a productive contributing player, Leonard will help the Titans defense become respectable again.

Some may complain that they didn't take Winston, but not only do I think this is the better pick, it's what I think they do.
