The Philadelphia Eagles plan on trying to move up in the 2015 NFL Draft to
select Marcus Mariota.
老鷹目前考慮以交易的方式交換選秀權,以選進今年大學球季最佳球員獎(海斯曼獎)的
四分衛Marcus Mariota。
The Eagles have the 20th overall pick and Mariota is expected to be one of
the first five selections.
老鷹今年的首輪選秀權落在第二十順位,偏偏Mariota被球評公認不出前五順位就會
被選走。
"From No. 20, it's certainly not going to be easy,'' said the person, who
requested anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak on the subject.
"It's probably going to take moving up twice to do it. There's going to be
some wheeling and dealing involved.''
一位因未經授權必須對記者匿名的相關人員表示:「要從第20順位選進最優秀的大學
球星當然不容易,至少要交易兩次選秀籤才做得到,所以選秀會當天應該會有其他
球隊捲入這項潛在交易案。」
Chip Kelly coached Mariota at Oregon during his first two collegiate seasons.
Most recently, Kelly compared Mariota to future Hall of Fame quarterback
Peyton Manning.
不難想像老鷹會想要Mariota的緣由,因為總教練Chip Kelly在Oregon大學當教練時
就曾經與Mariota合作兩年。Kelly甚至將MM比喻成未來必定會進入名人堂的球星
Peyton Manning。
"Obviously, [with] my relationship with Coach Kelly, it'd be a lot of fun to
be a part of that offense and be a part of that team," Mariota said.
Mariota在被問到相關問題時表示:「因為我先前與Kelly教練合作過的關係,假如能成
為他旗下球隊進攻系統的一員,絕對是讓我感到喜悅的事情!」
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have the top overall selection, while the Tennessee
Titans own the second pick.
不過最有機會選進Mariota的球隊,仍然不脫兩聯會各自的爐主-有狀元籤的海盜與有
榜眼籤的泰坦。
