'Marcus Mariota to the Eagles' is not media-driven boredom that Chip Kelly is suggesting it is

In 2011, the San Francisco 49ers went 13-3 during the regular season, earned a two seed and thus a first-round bye, and eventually lost in the NFC Championship game in heartbreaking fashion in overtime to the Giants. That was Jim Harbaugh's first season as an NFL head coach, after leaving Stanford University.

NFC Hierarchy-Obituary (power rankings): Pre-draft edition

In case you're unfamiliar with my hierarchy/obituary, it's sort of my hackneyed spin on power rankings.

We skip the AFC, because, well, I'm not going to pretend I know the AFC like I know the NFC. Let's get to the hierarchy of the NFC as they look today.

As we noted in our last Eagles only mock draft, all of the below is a lot of wasted text if the Eagles find a way to trade up and draft Marcus Mariota. However, if the Eagles stand pat at pick #20, the following mock drafts give an idea of what players might be available when they are on the clock on draft night.

What they're saying: 'WHEEEEEL ... OF... TEBOOOOOW!'

With the free agency period winding down, let's take a peek around and see what some outsiders are saying around the NFL. We'll begin with Dianna Marie Russini of NBC4 of Washington DC, who reported that the Eagles are trying to deal Matt Barkley, and if they do, it's Tebow Time!
