Ken Whisenhunt believes Marcus Mariota is ready to start from Day 1 in the NFL.

“If he comes to us at No. 2, he’s definitely going to be the Day 1 starter,” Whisenhunt said, via Jim Corbett of USA Today. “I’m very impressed by Marcus.”

Whisenhunt later clarified that the Tennessee Titans would only draft a quarterback second overall with that type of expectation since it is such a big investment. The Titans currently have Zach Mettenberger and Charlie Whitehurst on the roster.

The Tennessee Titans are getting closer to being sold and the possibility of Jimmy Haslam trading his ownership of the Cleveland Browns is possible.

Haslam badly wanted to own the Titans in his home state of Tennessee, but he chose several years ago to instead purchase the Browns when they became available.

Dave Tepper is considered the frontrunner to buy the Titans. Tepper is a Pittsburgh guy who owns five percent of the Steelers.

"Don't ignore the possibility of a swap with the Browns when that time comes," said one source who deals directly with many ownership groups. 

Marcus Mariota recently said the prospect of being the first player selected in the 2015 NFL Draft wasn't a "huge thing" for him.

According to Mike Freeman of Bleacher Report, “more than a few teams” have taken issue with the statement.

Here is the question Mariota was asked by Buccaneers.com writer Scott Smith:

“The draft’s just a little bit ahead now. If the Buccaneers did make that pick, that would be the first pick in the draft, something only a few men every year have a shot at. Is that something that’s important to you?

Here was Mariota’s response:

“You know, being the first pick, to me, it’s not a huge thing. You know, I’d love to play for the Bucs. But that being said, you know, I think if you find a team that wants you, that’s going to be the right team. I’m looking forward to kind of marketing myself and finding that team.”

The Tennessee Titans will host Jameis Winston for a workout and visit.

Winston has already visited the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who own the No. 1 overall pick.

The Titans will also host Marcus Mariota for a similar workout.

Winston would help fill the Titans' need for a quarterback should he not go first overall to the Buccaneers.
