Don't question me. I seriously believe if they do keep the pick this is where they go. I don't believe in two weeks they will own that pick though.
You just ruined the integrity of this draft. Good job squicken
:jnc :jnc :jnc
Jaguars will not be in this spot most likely(they'll trade down), but Jaguars select Jadeveon Clowney as the best pure defensive athete in the draft. Gus Bradley knows how to motivate and how to coach up talent, so working with Clowney might be a dream. Plenty of vets on defense to keep pushing him and Clowney will devour poor little Locker and Luck. We'll get a QB in round 2.
Next pick!
Next pick!
Mack probably, but I don't think the Jags are staying at #3. Although it's a tough choice between Mack and Bridgewater, IMO.

Well I did want to do a quick 20 minute instant reaction pick where we came to a consensus on who we though the Texans would take with the first but since squicken (and Tam) can't seem to hold onto his pants long enough for me to do it....
Here's the draft order:
1. Houston Texans - Khalil Mack LB In 2006 The Texans went against the "safe pick", Reggie Bush. Crennel wants fast and built options on his defense to keep up with these high powered offenses. While Clowney is a physical freak Mack is a mote traditional 3-4 OLB and can make an immediate impact. This selection allows them to move Brooks Reed inside next to Cushing where he can be a run stuffing thumper. Mack will play on the same side as JJ Watt which will force offenses to severly overload on side and allows Mercilus and Swearinger, playing box safety, to get free runs at the QB.
----------------------------------------------------------------
2. St. Louis Rams (from Washington Redskins) - Greg Robinson OT If Texans drafted Mack, STL would take Clowney in 2 seconds. For purposes here I will just assume Mack=Clowney and let whichever team below that was targeting Mack grab Clowney.
----------------------------------------------------------------
3. Jacksonville Jaguars - Jadaveon Clowney DE Jaguars will not be in this spot most likely(they'll trade down), but Jaguars select Jadeveon Clowney as the best pure defensive athlete in the draft. Gus Bradley knows how to motivate and how to coach up talent, so working with Clowney might be a dream.

Damn I have my pick ready but I guess i need to have a few in case y'all pick him.
Go look at Texans depth at ILB. ITs Cushing coming off an injury, Jeff Tarpinian and an UDFA last year. THATS IT! By taking Mack who is more ready at OLB they can move Reed inside and not have to use a really high pick on another inside backer.
Romeo got this bitches!
You made your pick it's too late!

Here's the thing - its about what you think the team will do given how the draft plays out. Not what you want. You said the team would take Clowney in 2 seconds but then chose Robinson.....
Browns are on the clock.

Yes because Mack is ready to play that spot now, Clowney will need time to adjust. You make it sound like Mack is a second half of the first round pick.
Texans have a few holes that need filling. If you can get a damn good football player to plug one while at the same time plugging another you do it.

Watkins, Matthews, and all the QBs on the board.
Browns don't Watkins. Even though hes a dynamic player and pairing him with Gordon would be great, there's plenty of great Wrs to be had in the draft that would make a great pair with Gordon. Sammy at 4 would be a bit of a luxury pick for us, i look for the Browns to look for a bigger Wr to pair with Gordon later on.
Matthews: even though i can get the thought behind taking the right tackle, i just think were in no position to me making a move like this at 4, same goes for Robinson.
With all the Qbs on the board i believe the Browns will take Blake Bortles. this is a who we think our team will take, not who we want to draft mock. Browns shouldn't play games with the QB position and hope one falls or waits for one, take the guy you like the most at 4 most, Remember what playing games with the qb position got you in WeedOn and Quinn. All the talk of no qb is worth a top pick is a little overblown. The qb position shouldn't be looked at as what can he do for us now, but what can he be for us in the long term. Finding a qb is hard, and you would hope your team isn't in a position to be picking this high in following years. take advantage of the high pick you have now.
the teams ready to compete now, we just need a trigger man. and the young qb will hopefully be able to sit behind hoyer

I personally like the value of Van Noy in 2nd over Mack in top 5. But that's just me.
Some have Beckham up there too. Crazy stuff.

BPA above all else. I don't have a fault with Mack; I'd be thrilled with him in Atlanta
But using ILB depth concerns to work yourself into a pick? ILB in a 3-4 is probably the easiest position to fill in this league outside of kicker and punter.
Now I'm gonna look like an ass when I draft a punter.
Not with your #1 and star ILB coming off back to back knee injuries.
Either way, that way its looking Atlanta will try to move up and get Clooney.
You both misunderstand me. I have no intention of trying to get Clowney assigned to STL.
