Buccaneers

Jason Cole reports that while the Buccaneers are “overwhelming expected” to draft Florida State QB Jameis Winston No. 1 overall, Oregon QB Marcus Mariota remains an option for them at the top of the draft.

According to Cole, there is something thinking that off-the-field issues regarding Winston could push the team to at least consider going with Mariota.
