Quote:the dropoff from teddy to a 2nd round qb like murray/carr/fales is way less than the dropoff from clowney to the best available de in the 2nd round.

 

zero chance? because you can see into the future?  :mellow:

 

But a quarterback's value is weighed a lot differently than a defensive end. 100 dollars is twice as much as 50 dollars, but it's less of a gap than 1,000 dollars and 750 dollars. Matt Ryan is inarguably more valuable to his football team than JJ Watt despite Watt being the best defensive player in football. (And I see a massive difference between Bridgewater and Murray/Carr as prospects, but I guess you have a different grade on the latter two).

 

And yeah, Clowney doesn't have a shot at going number one. He didn't before the injury concerns. Too many quarterback starved teams that will be competing for the first pick, and I think Bridgewater will likely be viewed as the third-best QB prospect in the last 15 years. No one passes that up for a mere pass rusher.
