Three months of draft buzz on quarterbacks and have forged a widespread presumption that Winston is the better prospect of the two and, at a minimum, the one more ready to help an NFL team win immediately. Yet two former general managers with sterling credentials, both headed to the , stand Nate Solder Jersey in different camps.Former GM Ron Wolf that he prefers Winston over Mariota, while Bill Polian, who worked as a GM for three different clubs, leans toward Mariota."... I watched Winston versus Miami before the game, down on the field, and then will his team back from a 16-point deficit," Wolf said. "He's an imposing guy. He has everything you'd want in a quarterback. I thought he was superb. What I know about Winston I like a lot. I'd take him in a heartbeat."Both attached riders to their preferences -- Wolf conceding he hasn't seen as much of Mariota as Winston, and Polian noting he hasn't had the benefit of seeing psychological reports on either. But even if the psychological a se sments were the same on both players, Polian -- who wisely chose over Ryan Leaf as the No. 1 pick in 1998 -- said he would lean toward Mariota."Very, very close. But I'd probably lean toward Mariota, as I said. It's closer than Manning-Leaf was. Way closer," Polian said. "More like (Kerry) Collins-(Steve) McNair in '95. With Mariota, I don't think playing from the pocket will be an i sue; he did a lot of that in the eight or nine games I saw. And he didn't throw 18 interceptions, either. On 14 of (Winston's) 18 interceptions, Winston didn't see linebackers underneath or he zeroed in on the receiver regardle s of coverage."Projections on Mariota's eventual draft position are widely scattered, from the No. 2 pick of the to any number of clubs picking outside the top 10. Meanwhile, it's difficult to find Winston .By the end of their respective rookie contracts, however, perceptions could easily have flipped.*Follow Chase Goodbread on Twitter *. Brad Wing Jersey
