Ayup, Robinson's jump this high wasn't that suprising with this combine.

These is my top 5 mock right now. Houston, will try to trade up to grab Bortles with their second and a future pick imho.

1. Clowney - Texans
2. Robinson - Rams
3. Manziel - Jags
4. Bridgewater - Browns
5. Watkins - Raiders

I've seen the consensus turn toward Manziel to the Jaguars recently, but I still see Teddy Bridgewater as the most likely candidate to go there. Whenever Gus Bradley talks about what he saw in Russell Wilson that made him special, he speaks of Wilson's tireless work ethic, which seems to be an area that Bridgewater has an advantage in over Manziel. I think a lot of analysts are making too much of the "short, scrambles around" shared aspect of Wilson/Manziel. They're not very similar QBs besides that.

I don't think you want to compare any qb to Wilson perse and get the best fit for that particular franchise.

And I'm really thinking Khan has a huge say in waking up a moribund fanbase, I like Teddy but JFF is more exciting to a fanbase.

NFL could pull Super Bowl if Arizona religious rights bill passes

The Religious Freedom Restoration Act, S.B. 1062, is the current controversy du jour out of Arizona, and the National Football League is with the opposition.

“Our policies emphasize tolerance and inclusiveness and prohibit discrimination based on age, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation or any other improper standard,” NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told USA Today. “We are following the issue in Arizona and will continue to do so should the bill be signed into law, but will decline further comment at this time.”

The Arizona Super Bowl Host committee released a statement saying it disagreed with the bill and its impact on Arizona’s economy.

“On that matter we have heard loud and clear from our various stakeholders that adoption of this legislation would not only run contrary to that goal but deal a significant blow to the state's economic growth potential,” a committee spokesperson said. “We do not support this legislation.”

Not trying to Troll or anything, but how many recent high draft picks have the Rams spent on WR?
Click to expand...

Recent being last 5 years.High picks meaning 1st-2nd rounds.

We got Tavon last year at pick 8, and Brian Quick at pick 33 the year before.

Love Tavon so far but my expectation were not as sky high as most rams fans.

And I'm more optimistic about Quick than most, I still believe they need to pick up a big body WR somewhere this off-season. Would love Evans at 13.

Rams beat writer did a chat today and seems pretty sure about the Texans taking a QB. Doesn't know who, but that was the assumption at the Combine amongst the various teams he talked to

And expanding that to the 3rd round, it's Stedman Bailey and Austin Pettis. But if using a draft pick automatically solved a problem, then the Colts would have an All Pro running back

Florio is a fucking tool. Only reason he assumes that is because Grossman knows Shanahans system. Browns should wait it out and see if Yates or Keenum get released.

When your team has no QB always draft a defensive player since they will provide the most impact.

This. Watt had the best season a defender has ever had and the Pats smoked the Texans in a playoff game. Schoob imploded and killed them the next year. Teams can preach all they want about not reaching and BPA, but when there's no QB it's just wasting time

In BOB we trust!

Guy is off to a hell of a start! Hosts on 610 last night about their frustrations because O'Brien hasn't said anything about what systems he will run(offense and defensive), how the team will be built, nothing. Very Belichickian

So all the talk last year about how Schaub sucked and was throwing away games was a myth. It was their top rated defenses fault. I've been duped.

Co-signed.

I'd imagine everyone should know by now that it's defence that wins championships.

Any player could be a bust, but I'd always feel safer taking a player on the defensive side of the ball.

Hypebole much? White/LT/Deacon Jones all had better seasons than Watt did.

Ehh, can't make a QB worth the number one if it isn't worth the number one overall. If I'm Texas, I'd trade down.

What could possibly go wrong trading out of every round for 7th round picks and then drafting half of Rutgers' roster?

Hey now the Rutgers players on that team are actually playing well!

If only they had tried cheating instead of bullying. :(


Infinitely more SB's than the Texans have ever sniffed. Good job on beating up on the team while they are garbage, though.

NO! We can't succumb to the dark side like the pats did, good will triumph over evil, it's just that we really really sucks so it's going to take a little longer that's all.

Why pay for him when you can just draft a better corner in the 5th round like we did?
