Quote:If Mariota comes out, we will be fine selecting him in my opinion at #2 or #3. If he doesn't come out, I'd like to see us take Clowney and then trade back into the 1st round (between 24-28 range) and select Tajh Boyd. I think this is how the QBs would go off the board if Mariota doesn't come out:

 

Teddy Bridewater, Clemson

Brett Hundley, UCLA

Derek Carr, Fresno State

Johnny Manziel, Texas A&M (idiot for whoever pulls the trigger IMO)

Tajh Boyd, Clemson/Zach Mettenberger, LSU

 

That's why I personally believe we could get Clowney who can be a game changer on defense and then be able to trade back into the 1st round and get our QB of the future in (who I would hope to be) Boyd. I feel like with the picks we got for Monroe, we can afford to trade one of them. We could trade our 2nd round pick (#33 overall), our 4th round pick, and a 6th round pick and be able to get up in the range Boyd would be in. If that was the case, I'm pretty sure the draft would still look like this as far as the draft picks we'd still have:

 

1st Round - Jadeveon Clowney DE, South Carolina

1st Round - Tajh Boyd QB, Clemson

3rd Round -

4th Round -

5th Round -

5th Round -

5th Round -

7th Round -

 

That's still PLENTY of ammunition to rebuild. I'd still prefer Bridgewater, but this would not be a terrible situation.
