Lande was on the show and they began talking about what the Texans may do.
The discussion quickly landed on the topic of QBs.
Lande was directly asked about Bridgewater and what he was getting a sense scouts are feeling about him.
He answered that every scout he'd talked to back to last fall and since then, state that they liked him but didn't love him. They aren't sold that he's top 10 material.
In fact, he stated he hasn't found a scout yet who says there's a single premier/franchise candidate in this draft class. The only one mentioned as the closest is Manziel.
That being said, he says Bortles is "very good" but not a day one starter. He may need more work than some... opinions are split widely on Bortles.
He suggested that if the Texans decide to pass on Clowney in favor of need, that he wouldn't be surprised if the QB they favor is Bortles as they're one of the teams in favor of him.
