Quote:I caught some flack about 3 weeks back basically guaranteeing that Clowney/Watkins will be gone by 3 but the OT depth is too deep to think St. Louis will go OT @ #2.  

 

Our best bet is to hope Texans go QB or take the scheme fit in Mack over the more talented Clowney.  

 

That or hope that Minnesota or some QB needy team wants to jump Cleveland/Oakland and offers us a trade back.

 

I don't know a lot about the Houston Front Office, but I just can't imagine them taking a one-season wonder Quarterback at #1 overall with Clowney staring them in the face. It just doesn't make a lot of sense. And Mayock's endorsement aside, I don't know that I could justify taking Mack over Clowney.

 

St. Louis has tried to get themselves a bona fide #1 WR several times in the past and while they really, really need OT help, I don't see them letting their WR walk past them.

 

To me, the best case scenario is that Bill O'Brien gets all cocky and decides that he wants a QB to fix Houston. He stands on the table in the War Room and screams at Rick Smith until he says "Bortles" into the phone. Oakland puts together a deal with St. Louis to nab Robinson at #2 and then we get the delightful dilemma of choosing between Clowney, Watkins, and Mack. At which point I will find something to complain about no matter who they pick.

 

"Yeah, Caldwell drafted Clowney. But now Watkins is gonna go play for someone else."
