The Bucs Start Here

Now that the 2015 NFL combine (page 38) is complete and the draft is only two months away—it begins on April 30—all eyes are on the Bucs. Who will they take with the No. 1 pick: Marcus Mariota or Jameis Winston? If speed and agility are paramount, Mariota is the front-runner, posting a 4.52 40 at the combine, the fastest of the 13 quarterbacks who participated. However, it was Winston who was impressive on the throwing end, easily hitting receivers in stride during drills. Who would you take? Go to SI.com/nfl for a complete breakdown of each player's attributes, as well as rankings of the nation's other top prospects, in Don Banks's NFL Mock Draft.
