Quote:so much hand wringing going on it is laughable.


We all have different opinions on the positions and players.


But 5 months from now a lot could be different.

As of now I prefer Barr over Clowney, for a number of reasons. Clowney seems immature and for all his physical abilities I just don't think the risk is worthy of the reward. I'm OK with the fact that people won't agree with that. Also I think for the Leo position you're not really looking for the atypical 4-3 DE if I understand the position correctly.


Without Teddy (who I personally am not as high on as others) being there at 3, I think you take the risk waiting til round 2 for a QB. Although waiting til pick 39 could leave you with slim pickings, I still think there are some very good prospects to be had in the later rounds.


I mean let's be real, a new QB is going to do wonders for this team, cuz Henne just ain't it. But if we think a rookie QB is gonna come in with this team in the shape it is and just send us to the playoffs we're being silly. So if we get a guy that has to wait a few games or half a season to start while Henne or some other stop gap vet starts, I'm OK with it. As long we get a guy that can be the guy for a long time it doesn't really matter if one team gets a great player we all want or not. As long as we get the right player.


Do you really wanna reach for Manziel or Bortles at 3 in fear of not getting a guy in round 2? Manziel seems like a head case. A "me" guy. Immature to say the least. Yes he has some intriguing aspects to his game and he may be a phenomenal player in the NFL. But he may Ryan Leaf it up and tell his team to F themselves.


I for one will not participate in the hand wringing. The whining and worrying. Caldwell and his staff will scout and find out who fits us best. They'll trade if they can or need to. We'll get a QB at some point. We'll get a DE/OLB-Leo. We're gonna get 10-12 new guys from draft and FA. and another 6-12 through UDFA. And Caldwell and Gus will field the best team possible.

I'd be pretty happy getting Barr in the first, Bortles/McCarron/Garrapolo in the second Stork in the third.... and address WR, RB, LB and depth on the lines in the 4th and later

Truthfully id be happy with teddy/Barr or clowney. I agree with you there's no point in reaching for a QB if Barr or Clowney is on the board.


The more I see Barr there more impressed I am.

I saw a video posted of his game against Nebraska which I loved, especially the last clip where he gets fooled by the run tackles the RB and still gets back to tackle the QB.
