The Chicago Bears have the 7th overall pick in the 2015 NFL draft and rumblings have begun on what they plan to do with that pick. According to CBSChicago.com, Mariota’s agency Rep1 Sports, has stated that the Bears are very interested in Mariota. The odd thing about his agency is that is ran by two of his cousins, Bruce and Ryan Tollner. No Jay Cutler hasn’t played very well of late but are they really interested in Mariota and ready to move, not so fast.
Dan Durkin, beat writer for the Bears, thinks it’s all smoke screen.
I think (they’re) drumming up interest … to entice a team like the Rams (at No. 10) to trade up.
I personally don’t see Mariota as a good fit in the Chicago. He lacks arm strength and might have a hard time learning the NFL game. He was a system quarterback in college and the Chicago fans could eat him alive if he falls on his face. The draft is April 30, until then we are left pondering where Mariota will land.
