There's little doubt who the Philadelphia Eagles would draft if they had the No. 1 overall pick. It's obvious: Marcus Mariota.

But for the sake of this annual exercise where we wonder if the Eagles could pick ANY player, let's exclude the Oregon quarterback.
So, if not Mariota, who would the Eagles take?
Pass rushers first come to mind. Players like Dante Fowler Jr. and Vic Beasley are expected to be top picks. The Eagles don't have an immediate need at outside linebacker with Connor Barwin and Brandon Graham under contract but it's hard to have too many good pass rushers.
The wide receiver position also commands attention. Alabama's Amari Cooper is only 20 years old and could be the top pass catcher selected. West Virginia's Kevin White is big and fast. The Eagles are very thin at wide receiver and adding one of these young play-makers would have the team feeling better about the position.
How about an offensive lineman? There doesn't seem to be a consensus top player at the position but there are a number of options.
Then there's the elephant in the room: Jameis Winston. Really hard to see Chip Kelly going for that, though.
So what do you think? Which non-Mariota player would you want the Eagles to take?
