Quote:the months leading up to the draft did you think bortles would be our pick? or that buffalo would trade up to take watkins? no one had a clue whose targets were whose. we will never know. i just dont like that you or anyone else says with certainty that the texans were not thinking about taking teddy at 33.

Lets back up a minute and re-read what I said.

 

 

"If I understand correctly, the Texans front office understood that Clowney was the best talent in this draft, but because he wasn't a perfect fit in Romeos defense, they where willing to trade the rights to draft him if offered an ample amount of picks to offset his value. If not, drafting him is still quite a consolation prize.

That being said, I don't believe Bridgewater was ever targeted by the Texans (just the fans really) so Minnesota didn't steal him from us. However, Garoppolo was our target and new England took him before us to force our hand in trading 4 and 5 for Mallet. Instead, O'Brien basically said FU and drafted New Englands tight end target Fiederowics. In addition, instead of trading for Mallet, O'Brien continued to say FU by trading the 4 and 5 instead to move back up for Nix, effectively leaving New England with 3 QB's in the roster, and Houston without the draft picks to trade."

 

 

We are all working on opinions here. I understand where you are coming from and I never meant it to sound like I was speaking fact.

 

And to answer your question, NO. I never thought the Jags would select Bortles over Clowney/Bridgewater. But I also didn't follow Jags news as much as Texans news, so in this situation I would defer to Jags fans.
