Here's another way of looking at our dreaded 3rd overall pick: Let's pretend that Bridgewater and Clowney go #1 and #2, let's also pretend, just pretend, they both end up being busts. TMD you've mentioned some weaknesses of Bridgewater's, such as his size, so this isn't far-fetched.  Winning those games would then have helped dodge those busts.  Let's also pretend the 3rd overall pick turns out to be better than the 1st and 2nd.  Yes, there's a trend with this team, but that was with a different owner, different coaches, different management, etc.  This owner got rid of a garbage coach after one season, the previous owner did not, obviously I'm referring to this franchise's 2nd coach, not its 1st.
