Texans and Clowney/Bortles

No we don't. The Rams extended Sam Bradford's contract, so they don't need a quarterback. Caldwell knows if the Browns or Raiders leapfrog us, he can pick somebody who is not a quarterbacn and we will still get much better at one position.

Quote:How McDaniels could get another HC opportunity is beyond me.
 

He got the job in Denver at age 32 and was given too much power. He was the one who traded up to draft Tim Tebow, not the general manager. The Browns are not going to let that happen, no matter who they hire.

i didnt read the whole thread, but i read on twitter that texans are shopping the number 1 overall pick. im assuming theyre eyeing either manziel or bortles and know they can get them later and can gain some picks in the deal. hope the jaguars make a move. TB needs to be in jax!!

Quote:Haven't seen anyone mention this yet. Let's say Bortles does come out this year even with his 2nd round grade. Anyone think due to his ties with Obrien that the Texans select Clowney first overall and then trade up in the back end of the first for Bortles? Wishful thinking if we want Bridgewater. Thoughts?
Bortles will get overdrafted and go in the top 10 purely on excellent measurables.

It might've been Josh Norris he's been on 1010 a few times...and he is the man. They've also had some very poor ones too though of course.

There would be absolutely no reason to trade up.  Unless it's Clowney, there wouldn't be a guy worth trading up for.

Hmm.  Bortles is the only one I'd think would have a top 10 grade, factoring out the built-in QB inflation factor.  But that's just me, and I'm no GM or scout.

I prefer Bortles to Bridgewater but I think it is a must we get one of them.

You may have that backwards. Very rarely do teams trade into the top 3 for a player that isn't a quarterback.

 

Although, you're entitled to your opinion about whether Bridgewater is worth trading up to the #2 spot for, I think you'll find that you're in the minority.

 

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

THERE IS A SKELETON INSIDE OF YOU.

 

RIGHT NOW. THIS IS NOT A JOKE.

Why don't they want Bridgewater? Is that not a huge red flag?

Was it a huge red flag for Rodgers?

You'd make that kind of trade for an elite prospect, which Clowney is and Bridgewater is not.  In my opinion.

The overriding point being, don't overdraft him if you're going to take him.

Interesting that you knock Bridgewater's production yet you want to trade up for Clowney...

Bortles is looking a lot like a Wall Street pump and dump. This guy ain't helping him at all.
