Plus, just go with the better quarterback and call it a day.

 

 

Pretty much. Even with the seeming wealth of QBs possibly going in the first and early second if we get the chance to take the highest rated one then do so.

 

2 of the many possible scenarios:

 

1. We take Bridgewater and he bombs horribly. Just sucks and never really pans out. Clowney ,Hundley,Mariota etc all do whatever at that point it wouldnt matter. We would have taken the best prospect and no one could blame us for doing so after his college career. We could look back and say at least we went after "the man" and got screwed by fate.  

 

2. We pass on Bridgewater for Hundley,Clowney etc and they themselves fail. This would setup a nightmare where if Bridgewater say turns the Browns around and goes Russel Wilson on the league we would look like the TrailBlazers passing on Jordan for Bowie or the Chargers with Leaf over Manning (even when manning was rated higher).

 

Id MUCH rather take him and him fail here then sit back and watch him dominate the league for 10-15 years while we get stuck with an alright or subpar 2nd tier QB. Of course we could pass on him and he bombs with the browns or vikings and Clowney/Hundley become Jags All Pros and look like wizards of the draft day but i find it unlikely.
