Can you believe Bortles was almost a Texan?

Agreed, though they could have had Watt & Bortles.

 

I think with Watt, we might have won enough games to get us out of the Bortles running.

 

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!

This really isn't true. The Jaguars traded up because they thought Gabbert was going to be their QB of the future. We would have drafted after the Texans otherwise. I don't see anybody trading up for a DT in the first round unless they have a crystal ball and can predict the type of career that Watt is having.

Clowney's playing well. Wouldn't surprise me if he exploded for like 12-15 sacks in 2016. QB trumps all other positions though.

The Texans were never going to pick Bortles. Clowney was number one on everyone's board


Don't care what that link said.


They only did it to entice us to give up everything to move to number one so that they'd still get clowney

So the Texans filled out 2 cards that no one else would see besides them to entice us? Ok.

Loved when Caldwell said even if Clowney was on the board he was still going to pick Blake. Awesome.

If the Texans took Bortles we would have taken Mike Evans and then drafted Carr later in the first through a trade up.

Considering QB was our number 1 need and Bortles was their number 1 player....

This is definitely not true. There were a lot of scouts and teams who had different opinions on who was better pass rusher prospect Clowney or Mack?

we're talking about overall prospect. Don't narrow it to pass rushing only

More like Mack and Carr.

If Bortles was gone the plan was to take Evans and then our next highest rated QB (Carr) in a trade up.

I do sometimes wonder what things would look like now with Mack and Carr vs Bortles and Fowler.  I'm not saying I wish we had gone that route because I LOVE Blake Bortles.  It's just interesting for me to thing about.

Yep, because teams always tell reporters exactly what they're doing with their draft picks during the draft.

 

Go home, J-Dub. You are drunk.
