I have confirmed this with sources I know on the inside. Jags are definitely looking for impact player with their pick. Their top 10 picks for their board are in this order (and they don't want to trade out of top 10 if one should present itself):

 

1. Jadeveon Clowney

2a. Sammy Watkins (seems like there is flip flopping between Mack and Watkins as to whom will be #2 on final board)

2b. Khalil Mack

4. Greg Robinson

5. Darqueze Dennard

6. Eric Ebron

7. Hasean Clinton Dix

8. Taylor Lewan

9. C.J Mosley

10. Mike Evans

 

They don't have Jake Mathews on their top 10 because they don't feel he is a true LT talent (didn't like a lot of film from Rice game got dominated at times as well as other games). Also Bridgewater is the only QB they have 1st round grade on, but he isn't in their top 15. 

 

Only 2 QBs have second round grades on them, I know one is Mettenberger, and Manziel surprisingly to me has a 3rd round grade (they feel that is where he would offer the most value, if they draft Manziel they would like him to sit for a year at minimum).

 

So there ya go folks


 

Quote:I have heard the same thing but apparently Bridgewater is in the top five due to his impact as a qb.

 

Top Brass feels like he a "real good" fit for the offense

 

Pro day will be huge for Bridgewater

 

They want to see two things:

 

Whether or not he maintains his size

 

And his arm strength, whether or not he can truly spread the field and drive the ball deep

Quote:Yes Top Brass feels like he is a "real good" fit for our offense. But he isn't in the top 15 as I mentioned. However, the team is willing to consider him at #6 - #8. Apparently, Falcons/Bucs are enamored with Clowney if he should fall to us, and Vikings might be overvaluing a QB or they want Clowney as well.

 

But from what I understand if we trade down then team feels confident a guy they like will be there in Round 2 for QB position, if not there at picks #6-#8. They don't want the QB pick to feel forced or like it was a huge reach.

Quote:I don't know who you know, but the friend of mine with the jags indicated to me at least that Bridgewater is top 5 on the board (Different people have different opinions though, could be fluctuating) 

 

He could potentially rise to #1 or #2 if he displays great arm strength on his pro day and the ability to hold weight. 

 

Now I think personally that even if Bridgewater isn't at #1 or #2 spot on the big boardthere is a good chance that the Jags will pick him just because of the combination of fit and qb tools

Quote:All I know is that if Texans take Clowney like they should, then we are looking at either Watkins or Mack. If Clowney should fall then things could get interesting.

 

Also, I heard an interesting comparison for Bridgewater......Andy Dalton, basically some there think TB is more pro ready version (i.e. he has much better pocket awareness) of Dalton who was known in college for his ability to read the whole field, make great decisions, and throw with consistent accuracy.

 

Since, TB already plays in a pro style offense, they feel the transition would be easier for him than it was/has been for Dalton.
