He has some legal issues hanging over him. Could go undrafted.

MOCK 6.0 2/20/14
*HIGHLIGHTS* - Oakland gets a Boyd/Watkins pairing, Cardinals draft Carr, JAGS Trade Back into first
1. Houston Texans (2-14) - Johnny Manziel QB
I think the owner and the residents of Houston will be a big factor for Johnny going to the Texans. I think Johnny’s new commitment towards becoming a better person and quarterback will definitely help his stock. He has been training with a former Bill Obrien assistant and he’s stated he WANTS to be a Texan. I think the Texans oblige.
2. Atlanta Falcons (Skins 3-13) - Jadeveon Clowney DE
I still feel the Falcons will trade up for a shot at Clowney. Albeit the Browns will probably also try to trade up for Bridgewater. We will see I guess. But, for now I think the Rams will trade this pick to the Falcons. Perhaps the Browns will be content knowing Bridgewater and Bortles will still be available.
3. Jacksonville Jaguars (4-12) - Teddy Bridgewater QB
I have been trying to not mock Bridgewater to us several times. But, I hold with such conviction that Teddy will be a Jaguar. It just makes sense. Him in a Jaguars uniform makes sense to me. Now for cliches… he has a great work ethic, has all the tools, and [BAD WORD REMOVED] we need a Quarterback. I think at this point in Caldwells mind its 1A CLOWNEY 1B Bridgewater 1C Mack
4. Cleveland Browns (4-12) - Blake Bortles QB
5. Oakland Raiders (4-12) - Sammy Watkins WR
6. St. Louis Rams (4-12) - Jake Matthews OT
7. Tampa Bay Buccs (4-12) - Greg Robinson OT
8. Minnesota Vikings (5-10-1) - Khalil Mack OLB
9. Buffalo Bills (6-10) - Anthony Barr OLB
10. Detroit Lions (6-10) - Taylor Lewan OT
11. Tennesse Titans - Zach Martin OT
12. New York Giants - C.J. Mosley ILB
13. St. Louis Rams - Eric Ebron TE
14. Chicago Bears - Darqueze Dennard CB
15. Pittsburgh Steelers - Aaron Donald DT
16. Dallas Cowboys - Timmy Jernigan DT
17. Baltimore Ravens - Calvin Pyror S
18. New York Jets - Marquise Lee WR
19. Miami Dolphins - Cyrus Kouandjo OT
20. Arizona Cardinals - Derek Carr QB
21. Green Bay Packers - HAHA Clinton Dix S

Quote:I like your draft, but there is no way some of those players fall where they do. McCarron seems a bit too nutty for me.
Quote:I like it, but I would substitute Bortles for Bridgewater as far as Caldwell's rankings/board. That would leave us drafting Bortles in this scenario, but I think Houston takes him #1 overall anyway.Would love Seastrunk in teal.
As for the rest of the draft, most picks look pretty good to me. However, Cleveland is set at TE. I think they would go with a WR there, possibly Beckham Jr. I also think: Ebron will drop, no way Evans lasts to #23, I don't think Tenn needs an OT.
Quote:Sure is gonna suck watching Bridgewater lead the vikes to the playoffs with our pick.If they make the playoffs, I doubt it will be mostly due to stellar play from Bridgewater.
Quote:If they make the playoffs, I doubt it will be mostly due to stellar play from Bridgewater.Most likely, they have the weapons in place, Adrian Peterson in his prime
Quote:Most likely, they have the weapons in place, Adrian Peterson in his primeExactly. Bridgewater would definitely help them, but so would a lot of other decent QB's that don't suck. It would be Peterson and the rest of the roster that would be the biggest factors.
Vikings are 10-6 possible 11-5 with Bridgewater at qb
Quote:Here is my latest idea, and it also involves trading back.
Minnesota is desperate for a QB. I think they take no chances and will want to jump over Cleveland and Oakland to grab a QB of their choice after Bortles goes #1 to Houston. They could even trade up with St. Louis to get ahead of the Jags, but for the sake of the trade scenario we will say they give us their 2nd round pick to move up from #8 to #3. Atlanta also trades up to get Clowney.
1. HOU - QB B. Bortles
2. ATL - DE J. Clowney (from STL)
3. MIN - QB T. Bridgewater (from JAC)
4. CLE - QB J. Manziel
5. OAK - OT G. Robinson
6. STL - OT J. Matthews (from ATL)
7. TAM - OLB K. Mack
8. JAC - WR S. Watkins (from MIN) -explosive, star player we need badly, will make whatever QB look good
9. BUF - OT T. Lewan
10. DET - CB D. Dennard
39. JAC - QB D. Carr (pair him with Watkins for some big plays, no pressure to start day 1)
40. JAC - OC T. Swanson (starter day 1)
Rnd 3 - RB L. Seastrunk (starter day 1)
Free Agency - DE Michael Bennett
The rest of the draft would hopefully land some quality depth at CB, LB and DL.
Quote:I think the Seahawks will lock up Bennett. And I don't really envision Watkins going past the Raiders (not saying they don't need a LT).OT probably more of a need than WR for Raiders, and Robinson higher than Watkins in most rankings I have seen. OT a premium position. That was my thinking there. Tampa might grab Watkins in that scenario, but I think Mack is going to be ranked in the top 5 when the draft comes.
Quote:Using my Fanspeak mock from yesterday:I like a lot of those picks. Not bad at all, but I would rather have OC Travis Swanson or WR Allen Robinson with that round 2 pick. Either an instant starter from day one (counting on Blackmon not being around), as opposed to Easley being a back up. I don't see him worthy of #39 regardless.

Quote:I would probably start Easley on the PUP and then ease him into the lineup. I think he is going to be a stud if he can stay healthy. I would've went center earlier but I wasn't sure how well it would work with a rookie center, rookie QB, and rookie RB all starting.That would be a lot of rookies at key positions on offense, but we are rebuilding big time and expectations are still pretty low for this year. O-line might be pretty good with: LT Joeckel LG Beadles OC Swanson RG Nwaneri RT Pasztor
