Quote:I do.  If Caldwell could get the right value in trade for the pick, I'm thinking he'd pull the trigger on a trade.  While Clowney does have the star caliber thing, it's possible the Jags could slide to 6 and still land a guy with star caliber, and have extra picks to go with him.  1


 

Granted, it would need to be one heck of an offer to trade out of 3 and pass on Clowney.  2


 

That being said, what are the odds he's there....seriously.  3

 

1. I rarely get upset by Front Office moves, but if they let Clowney walk past them that would make me upset. We're talking have-to-take-a-few-deep-breaths-before-I-finished-off-my-beer level of upset. Draft picks are nice to have and all, but draft picks are tools that are used to get good players. Why not just take the great player?

 

2. I can't imagine what the package would have to be, for me at least, to trade back. Now, that little phrase in the middle of the sentence is key here because what I want is as about as relevant as my sock selection on a random Tuesday. What Caldwell wants is what's important but if a potential star-caliber player is in play, you have to know that the price is going to be really really steep.

 

3. In the words of Andrew Bernard: "I'd say there's a none percent chance." Seriously, he's not gonna be there. Houston ain't that dumb and Fisher will take him if they are. I love the idea but it's just not going to happen.
