Ex-Bucs executive reveals how close Mariota-Winston decision was in draft

Wiki Article

The 2016 NFL Draft marked the second year in a row that the team at the top of the draft had to make a huge decision at quarterback. Although the seemed to settle on over pretty early in the evaluation proce s, apparently, the same can't be said for the , Martin Fehervary Jersey who had to decide between and in 2015. One person who had a front row seat to the Bucs' decision-making proce s was general manager Jon Robinson. Before in Jaromir Jagr Women Jersey January, Robinson spent three years as the Buccaneers director of player personnel (2013-15). During a recent , Robinson revealed just how torn the Bucs were between Winston and Mariota. "I mean Tom Wilson Men Jersey it was a tough decision in Tampa for us last year," Robinson told Jim Rome. "I was heavily involved in that proce s, and it really wasn't a 1-2, it was more of a 1a -- 1b, where we really couldn't go wrong with either player." Robinson became sold on Mariota well before the 2015 draft. "You notice good football players on the road when you're scouting, and he was a guy that had a quiet confidence about him that distributed the football well, that had a unique balance of arm talent Aaron Ness Men Jersey and athleticism and just thought he was going to be a really good football player," Robinson said. The good news for Robinson is that he got the best of both worlds: Not only was he in Tampa for Winston's rookie season, but now he gets to try and build a team around Mariota in Tenne see. The 2016 draft Jonas Siegenthaler Jersey gave Robinson the perfect chance to start building that team. The reason the Rams were able to select Goff is because the Titans were the No. 1 Braden Holtby Kids Jersey overall pick. "I think we were all in agreement that we are more than one player away here with the Titans," Robinson said, when asked why he made the trade. "And the ability to pick up six players in the top 76 picks and an extra first-round pick next year, and an extra third-round pick next year, those were going to be key building blocks for this franchise." Robinson is definitely going to need those building blocks if he's going to put together a team that has any chance of getting the Titans to Aaron Ness Kids Jersey the playoffs for the first time since 2008.
