    Sorry, but if I was a highly touted prospect and I had a chance to go high in the first round, I'd be gone.

    top prospects can still get insurance from Lloyds of London to hedge against the possibility of injury and they can pay for this with projected future earnings. As an example, Andrew Luck reportedly had upwards of 5M of insurance taken out on him when he returned for another year at Stanford. I'm guessing that getting a draft grade may be part of establishing a player's value for an insurance policy. So financially reckless? No, not really

    Bottom line is it's bummer that he's returning... for you

    He looked like he was back to his old self yesterday. Glad to see him get his wheels back.

    If I were him, I'd go.

    However, the teams at the top are pretty shaky organizations with the exceptions of Houston and Atlanta

    Atlanta is set at QB. Houston would be a decent place for Mariota. As a Raider fan, I hope to hell Marcus doesn't come up, because Oakland drafting him would be a dead end for his career.

    Foles to Tampa for their #1 pick, and Chip gets MM?

    It would have to be after next year. Hopefully Foles continues to play great, though. He's the cerebral QB that Chip likes. Marcus is, too, of course, but I think Foles is a better pure passer than MM.
