1 1 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Jameis Winston QB Florida St.
I think it's pretty obvious that Jameis should be the pick here. But why should it be so obvious? Jameis played in a pro style system, and has a better knack at making good throws from the pocket. Mariota is not a true pocket passer, and pulling him from his spread offense and putting him in a pro style system is not going to work. I don't think the buccaneers would be willing to change their whole offense to suit Mariota. Jameis has had some maturity issues, but I think those will be overlooked due to his play on the field. Good film study could also get rid of his problem with turning the ball over, and I would think he'd be willing to do that because of how much he loves the game.
