After months of trade rumors, the Tennessee Titans kept their pick and selected Oregon QB Marcus Mariota with the No. 2 overall pick.

Not only is Mariota the first Oregon player to win the Heisman Trophy, but he also is the only Oregon player to be selected in the first two picks of the draft. That may or may not be a good sign for Titans fans. The previous two Oregon quarterbacks picked in the top five (Joey Harrington and Akili Smith) had a combined 29-64 record in the NFL.

With Jameis Winston going No. 1 overall, the duo of Winston and Mariota are the sixth pair of quarterbacks to be selected with the top two picks in the Common Draft Era. Of the previous five, only one pair – Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III in 2012 – both made the Pro Bowl.

What does Mariota bring to the Titans offense?

• Efficiency – The only experienced QBs on the Titans’ active roster next year are Charlie Whitehurst and Zach Mettenberger. Neither player has a career QBR above 31. Although college QBR is not 100 percent predictive of NFL success, Mariota has the highest career college QBR of any player to start multiple seasons in the last decade.

• Winning – Tennessee finished last season with its worst record (2-14) since the 1994 season. The two quarterbacks on the Titans roster have a career 2-13 record. In the last three seasons, Oregon is 36-5, tied for the third-best winning percentage in the country. Mariota started all 41 of those games for the Ducks.

• Mobility – Mettenberger was sacked on 9.3 percent of his dropbacks last season, the fourth-highest percentage among QBs with at least five starts. Whitehurt was not far behind with a 9.1 sack rate. Although Mariota probably took too many sacks in college, he also has escabability that is unrivaled on the Titans roster. In his career, Mariota scrambled for more than 1,000 yards and averaged 9.3 yards per scramble. He gained a first down on 47 percent of those scrambles (Power 5 average is 31 percent).

• Accuracy – The Titans ranked 27th in the NFL in completion percentage last season. Mariota’s accuracy is often overlooked because of the offense that he came from, but he completed 68.3 percent of his passes last season with an average pass distance of 8.8 yards downfield. Mariota also led all Power 5 quarterbacks in completion percentage on passes thrown 15 yards or longer last season and ranked second in completion percentage from inside the pocket

• Face of the Franchise – Each of the last two quarterbacks drafted in the first round by the Titans (Jake Locker and Vince Young) lasted five or fewer seasons with the team. There are no guarantees that Mariota will succeed, but as the No. 2 overall pick, he will be the face of the Titans franchise for the near future.
