Oh?
Tim McManus of Birds 24/7 is one of the most reliable reporters on the Eagles beat. It's very interesting, then, that he tweeted out the following on Tuesday afternoon:
Two days until the draft. Is the Eagles-Mariota dream dead? No sir, don't believe it is.

It's hard to read into this too much, but it's definitely at least worth noting here.
McManus isn't the only reliable Eagles reporter who believes the Mariota dream is alive. BGN alumnus Jimmy Kempski, currently with PhillyVoice, has said from the beginning that the Eagles are going to make a "strong play" for Mariota.
