Don't think I would move the draft picks for Mariota, but I would take him if he fell to 12.
However, if I were considering moving both picks for a QB this year (I'd even generously consider throwing in Manziel), I would circle around to the 49ers with their deteriorating situation and see if they would reconsider moving Kapernick. Similar strengths and weaknesses as MM with the strengths at a much higher level (arm, athleticism), with further development potential, high-level NFL playoff experience and limited injury history.
Maybe they want to start over and get out from under the contract (which is structured in a way that would not unduly hamstring CLE if it didn't work out). Seems like a much better option instead of rolling the dice on a rookie.
