The fan forum was awesome!  Gus just captured the crowd.  If the coaching thing doesn't work out he could surely be a motivational speaker (or stand-up comedian).  I say that as a compliment - dude is funny. 

 

I spent much more time with the GM though because I'm a draft geek.  Here's some of my conversation with Dave Caldwell:

 

Q: Is Clowney a "Scheme fit"

A: Yes

 

Q: As a LEO?

A: Yes

 

Q: If the Rams don't trade out or the #2 pick do they take OT or WR?

A: Probably OT

 

Q: Would you draft Barr #3, or try to trade back for a guy like Dee Ford?

A:  Ford didn't start very many games and may have some non-football issues that need to be vetted. i.e. higher risk than some may think.  Seemed to indicate they would draft Barr #3 if he were their "guy."

 

Q: Is Bortles a media fabrication?

A: No, he's a really good player.

 

Q: Does this draft have a "franchise" guy at QB?

A: Possibly (seemed to indicate that there might be one they'd be comfortable with)

 

Clearly he wasn't going to give away the farm, but I cam away thinking they'd definitely draft Clowney if available, possibly even if a QB were there.  He seemed to be comfortable with the thought of Barr or Watkins.  Seemd to like Borltes, but not at #3 (maybe a trade down possibility).
