But after spending more time around team executives, including some who have at least a moderate interest in perhaps making a move up to get him, the strong sense I continue to get is he's not getting past the second overall pick.Other teams view the Titans as legit trading partners with that pick. Of course, if Tennessee's asking price is too high, then maybe nothing develops and the Titans just end up picking him. But the price-point is developing at second overall as the idea of trading with the Redskins (at five) or the Jets (at six) doesn't hold water as a real possibility to get the Oregon quarterback with the people I was talking to."He's going second overall," said one of the general managers who is paying particular attention to the Mariota market. "I don't know to which team, but he's going second overall."Obviously, nothing is certain when it comes to the draft and the subterfuge runs crazy deep, but I remain in the camp of quarterbacks going first and second overall.
