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.
